Hrm, these aren't default permissions. I believe libvirt spawns the kvm process
as the libvirt-qemu user, so having those permissions may be contributing to the
issues.

That is quite odd. Either the injected iso didn't get built properly, or there
are permission issues.

That's unusual. You're running Precise, right? I'll have to see why libvirt on
precise isn't keeping that setting.
