I have a newly installed ovirt engine, and node. I created a new VM, gave
it a virtual disk, and a network, attached my one ISO that I have out
there, and tried to start it. It failed. The admin portal error messages
say:

2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10
Failed to run VM oel-test (User: admin at internal).

2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10
Failed to run VM oel-test on Host oravm2.

2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10
VM oel-test is down. Exit message unable to open disk path
/rhev/data-center/f465251e-

VM oel-test was started by admin at internal (Host: oravm2).


When I go to the node, and check, the permissions do indeed look bad.
vdsm:kvm owns everything down through
/rhev/data-center/f465251e-5679-11e1-ba81-97917332892e/24b70dff-549e-46a6-a863-3a158aa6e9a3,
but below that, it looks bad. Here is a "ls -l" of that last directory:

# ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 2 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb 23 16:22 dom_md
drwxr-xr-x. 3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb 27 16:22 images

And then the owner and group of everything below 'images' is bad, too.

Can some help me determine what happened? And how to fix it?
