The import doesn't happen automatically, you have to do the final step
manually (when using the command line).  See:

http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#output-to-rhev

However that error shouldn't happen.  It looks like the name is the
same as the name of an existing VM.  From virt-v2v you can do the
whole conversion/import over again, this time adding the `-on
new_name' option to the command line (obviously choosing a name which
is not otherwise being used).

I don't know if there's a way to get oVirt to change the name when
importing from the export domain.  As far as I know you have to start
the import from scratch.
