It would appear that the problem was the permissions on the files. after I did a chmod 0755 to the .iso it appeared almost immediately in the web admin. Should the iso-uploader script not have changed the permissions of the file? It appears to have set the correct owner.
Could someone explain why oVirt is even requiring ownership of the iso images by a specific user and group? Isn't it enough to just require read/write permissions on the export? The file ownership requirement is causing us problems because we have an NFSv4 storage appliance that refuses to chown files to 36:36 because those users are not known to the appliance.
I have a vague, unsubstantiated memory, that this was intentional decision. Maybe it was intended to differentiate RHEV-available images from unrelated files on the same nfs export. However, I consider this behavior ugly, ununixish, and counter-productive. I wouldn't nack a Vdsm patch that checks readability only, preferably with a backward-compat mode. Dan.
