Hi Dominic,
If I get you right, you have set a bridge and manually installed vdsm using 
RPM's.
When you add a host from the web UI, it's actually trying to do what you
did, but it should be a problem. So... let's try to figure out the real issue;
If you SSH into your vdsm host (node), you'll find under /tmp the installation
log files.
Please verify there's no sensitive data there, and send to list.
We'll continue based on the logs.

Doron.
