I understand that diagnosing this script is well outside of the
context of this mailing list, but this is clearly just an
authentication problem.
For the mailing list record, Adrian's solution was to set
export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct
which causes libguestfs to run qemu directly instead of trying
to use libvirt.
Thanks,
Rich.
