Hi Juan,
Thanks for your reply.
We are using the storage glusterfs-3.5.1-1.el6.
I can't reproduce this, not even with the same storage that you used.
Can you please try with the simple script that I suggested in the
previous message and report the results?

Your XML looks correct. I used it in my 3.5 environment and it works
    correctly, creating "Clone/Independent" virtual machines.
What kind of storage are you using? NFS?
Can you try the following script and report the results?
#!/bin/sh -ex
url="https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api";
    user="admin@internal"
    password="******"
curl \
    --verbose \
    --insecure \
    --request POST \
    --user "${user}:${password}" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/xml" \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --data "
    <vm>
      <name>myvm</name>
      <cluster>
        <name>mycluster</name>
      </cluster>
      <template>
        <name>mytemplate</name>
      </template>
      <disks>
        <clone>true</clone>
      </disks>
    </vm>
    " \
    "${url}/vms"
