[Openstack] Guest agent and fsfreeze

I'm trying to get the guest agent working on OpenStack.

I have enabled the guest agent using the property

| Property 'hw_qemu_guest_agent' | yes |

The VM has the qemu guest agent installed

$ rpm -qa | grep guest
qemu-guest-agent-1.5.3-60.el7_0.11.x86_64

The service has been started

/bin/systemctl status qemu-guest-agent.service
qemu-guest-agent.service - QEMU Guest Agent Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/qemu-guest-agent.service; static)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2014-12-21 17:45:32 CET; 18h ago

However, when I run the nova image-create command, I do not get any entry in /var/log/qemu-ga to show that fsfreeze has been run.

Any suggestions ? I could not find any documentation on how to do fsfreeze with QEMU GA other than the blueprints implementing the function.
