Dan, thanks for the reply. I ended up down this chain of reasoning on
Friday. Discovered the vdsm.log and saw that it was having sudo problems.
Those were likely cause by my puppet agent stepping on whatever setup vdsm
had done to sudoers on install. I repaired what I could from the sudoers
changes in the ovirt git repo (though not exact as that file looks to have
a number of paths evaluated at runtime).

VDSM was able to run cleanly and then ovirt could detect the version and
carry on.
