I just tried it again but it still doesn't work.  I've waited more than
1 minute and also made sure that my regular user could list & copy the
images within the images directory.  Here's the output with the --debug

I got that block for every VM on my inventory.  I'm running F20 with
virt-preview repo fully updated.

Arggh I see.  I didn't know it wasn't being recorded at all.

That's superb.

Thanks Richard for the input.
