Hi,
I was able to import your VMs with storage domain that had 350GB free.
Your ova have a disk with 1GB actual size and 256 virtual size - when I try
to import to a storage with 50G I got the error that you had.

if you will look at /var/log/vdsm/import/... you will see the logs of each
import,
In the one that fail I found this line:
qemu-img: error while writing sector 423174528: No space left on device

virt-v2v try to convert via qemu-img the img from vmdk to qcow and
encountered free space issue in the storage domain.

Please consider asking the mailing list  libguestfs at redhat.com about this
issue or try to increase your storage domain if you want a quick fix.

The reason that I think you where able to import via the virt-v2v command
is the usage of 'virt-v2v -o null' which is not writing to the disk.

Shahar.
