I'm at a loss.
you can compare the generated livirt xml send to qemu by vdsm and
compare to what you expected to happen by the hook.
You may also share the bit of vdsm.log from vmCreate until failure.

what string should be used for the hook would be nice. My first pass at it resulted in an
improper string that caused my host to crash/hang and reboot when I attempted to start a
VM with it the first time.
each hook has a README - maybe send a patch to elaborate more on the
one not clear enough to you?
I think that Darrel means something like
Bug 1086329 - [RFE] semi-automatic hook registration
(or maybe a bit less fancy). It would be cool to add some introspection
to the hook framework, so that Engine learns about available hooks and
their custom properties from the nodes.

yes. it was correct.
