Hope you are all well and that you can help me.

I build a centos 8.2 vm on my local Fedora 32 qemu/kvm laptop. Then I ssh to my ovirt host in the following manner: ssh ovirthost -R 16666:localhost:16509. I can then view the vm's on my local laptop with the following configuration string: qemu+tcp://localhost:16666/system. Eveything goes according to plan until I hit the import button. It fails almost immediately. I even tried it on the command line and this is what I get, it also error immediately:

virt-v2v -ic qemu+tcp://localhost:16666/system -o libvirt -os SOME_STORAGE centos8_ovirt
virt-v2v: warning: no support for remote libvirt connections to '-ic
qemu+tcp://localhost:16666/system'.  The conversion may fail when it tries
to read the source disks.
[   0.0] Opening the source -i libvirt -ic qemu+tcp://localhost:16666/system centos8_ovirt

virt-v2v: error: qemu-img command failed, see earlier errors

If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the
complete output:

  virt-v2v -v -x [...]

This solution worked for me last year but I can't get it going. Is there something obvious I am missing or is this just not working anymore?
