Your XML looks correct. I used it in my 3.5 environment and it works
correctly, creating "Clone/Independent" virtual machines.

What kind of storage are you using? NFS?

Can you try the following script and report the results?

#!/bin/sh -ex

url="https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api";
user="admin at internal"
password="******"

curl \
--verbose \
--insecure \
--request POST \
--user "${user}:${password}" \
--header "Content-Type: application/xml" \
--header "Accept: application/xml" \
--data "
<vm>
  <name>myvm</name>
  <cluster>
    <name>mycluster</name>
  </cluster>
  <template>
    <name>mytemplate</name>
  </template>
  <disks>
    <clone>true</clone>
  </disks>
</vm>
" \
"${url}/vms"
