Discuss with Royce Lv.
We think the error message misleads you.
You do not need copy file to /var/lib/libvirt/images.
it can in any directory. just set the ISO image permission for qmeu user.

The simply way is just as follow:
$ sudo chmod a+xr /yourpatch/youriso -R

or
$ sudo chmod a+x /yourpatch/ -R
$ sudo chmod a+r /yourpatch/youriso # "chown qemu" is also OK


or setfacl
$ setfacl -R -m u:qemu:rx /yourpatch/youriso


To Yu Xin and Hongliang
The above error message does dismiss so quickly.
