First, thanks for giving it a try.

This looks like a correct TDL file.

And this looks like the proper command-line.

Hm, OK.  It's a really good question, it should work.  Questions:

1)  When you do the installs that succeed, do you use the virbr0 bridge, or do
you have a real bridge that you typically use?  Currently oz always uses the
virbr0 bridge, and I'm wondering if there is some kind of firewall rule that
is preventing it from getting out to the network.
2)  What is your host system?  Fedora 13?  Fedora 14?  Something else?

I'll try to reproduce this locally and see what happens.

Thanks again,
