I see this error:

But we know that the ids are ok from your lspci:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 059f:106e LaCie, Ltd Porsche Design Desktop Drive

But I don't see apparmor denies anymore, so we seem to have fixed those.
Sorry you fulfill all that is usually needed to get the USB to be passed through and I don't see a good lead where to debug next :-/

What might be worth a try would be to upgrade libvirt/qemu.
If you want to stick to 16.04 as the base OS but try a newer virtualization stack you might consider the Ubuntu Cloud Archive packages from [1].

That would be:
  $ sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:queens
And then updating the packages.
