*NOTE* this only happens when qemu.conf is configured to launch qemu-kvm with the kvm user credentials, not with the default config where it is launched as root. Yet, the directory is group owned by the kvm group. Why don't we set kvm user and group in qemu.conf by default for qemu-kvm?

Tobias, I see there has been an update for the libvirt package but this hasn't been fixed. What is your take on my request in comment #1 ?
