Doh, brain fart VDSM is not involved here for the purposed of the needed test.
Here is my initial whack at it:

Shu,
I build oVirt Engine and vdsm from source myself. The commits I indicated are what I built from.I run the engine under FC17 and my nodes are running EL6.x respectively.

Dan,
I reverted VDSM on my two test nodes to an earlier build of VDSM (commit:
c343e1833f7b6e5428dd90f14f7807dca1baa0b4)
VDSM after the above commit is broken due to commit:

fc3a44f71d2ef202cff18d7203b9e4165b546621 however when I built and tested from master yesterday I did apply a patch I tested for
ybronhei which fixed that issue.

I will build VDSM from master, today w/ the supervdsm patch and try the manual migration you indicated.

In this case, Dead Horse, would you try to migrate a VM (that you do not
care much about) using
    virsh -c qemu+tls://hostname/system migrate --p2p dsthost?

I'd like to see that the problem reproduces this way, too. More of
libvirtd.log may help. You may want to disable iptables for a moment,
just to eliminate a common cause of failure.
