I have never used freenas so I can't help you there, but I am assuming you can 
add users to it using the UI, you just have to make sure the user/group id is 
both 36 (kvm/vdsm) and that the user is able read/write to the appropriate 
exported directories. On the other hand I am wondering how you managed to add 
the data/iso domains if the HVs are unable to connect to it.
