[Fedora-xen] qemu: could not open hard disk image

[John Summerfield]

What does this mean?
[root at potoroo qemu]# cat recovery.log
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -M pc -m 128 -smp 1 -monitor pty -boot c -hda 
/var/lib/xen/images/recovery.img -hdb /var/lib/xen/images/rto.img:c -net 
nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:22:5a:10,vlan=0 -net tap,fd=13,script=,vlan=0 -usb 
-vnc 0.0.0.0:0
qemu: could not open hard disk image '/var/lib/xen/images/rto.img:c'
[root at potoroo qemu]#

[root at potoroo qemu]# ls -l /var/lib/xen/images/rto.img:c
-rwx------ 1 root root 11999994368 Jan  9 17:03 
/var/lib/xen/images/rto.img:c
[root at potoroo qemu]# file /var/lib/xen/images/rto.img:c
/var/lib/xen/images/rto.img:c: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x52, OEM-ID

No selinux messages.

This filesystem is an image of a Windows partition, backed up with 
ntfsclone, restored, resized, cloned again (trying to eliminate alleged 
bad hardware sectors, a legacy of earlier problems). I expect /dev/hdb 
to be a "superfloppy" format drive which I can then manipulate into a 
partition on another virtual drive.
