The error means libguestfs doesn't think there is anything on your
source disk (disk.img), eg it is blank or there is no detectable
operating system on it.

Do:

  export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1
  export LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1
  ./import-to-ovirt.pl [....]

and capture the full output.  From that output it is possible to work
out why inspection of the source disk failed.
