Hi,
You don't need to try it on oVirt when 'virsh -c' doesn't work since oVirt try
to connect via libvirt libraries (same as virsh) before it called virt-v2v.

Did you follow all the steps in the wiki?
Are you able to ssh to the Xen server from the vdsm machine that you try to
run virsh without password? (ssh root at 192.168.1.40)
