[Users] modifying vmdisk hook

[Nathanaël Blanchet]

okay, but I was running vdsm 4.9.3.2 from the ovirt 3.0 stable 
repository  and I'm not sure 4.9.6.x is compatible with engine 3.0.
So I built rpm on a F17 host and then installed the rpm 
vdsm-hook-directlun-4.9.6-0.268.gitfc9e104.fc17.noarch.rpm to the host 
with vdsm 4.9.3.2. According to the logs, issues about "from vdsm import 
utils" are the same.
I guess it must exist a way to make those scripts work with 4.9.3.2 
because those scripts have been written before this first ovirt release 
had been available.
Plus, vmdisk works fine but scripts invoking "from vdsm import utils" don't.

Do you have any idea?
