Hi,
yes I was unable to migrate VM using virt-v2v (version 0.8.8) on Fedora 
18. It seems that there is some incompatibility between libvirt and 
virt-v2v tool. However with older version of this toolit's possible to 
perform successful import. For example virt-v2v on Fedora 16 (version 
0.8.5) or RHEL 6.3 (version 0.8.7) works well.

Piotr
