Do you run it from the engine's machine? The host? Elsewhere?
Where is the iso domain?

This sounds to me like a bug, but I didn't check the sources yet.
Please open one. Thanks.

That said, you can simply copy your iso file directly to the correct
directory inside the iso domain, which is:

/path-to-iso-domain/SOME-UUID/images/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111/

Make sure it's readable to vdsm:kvm (36:36).

Best,
