Thanks for providing the logs.
We don't support OVA directory with content (OVF, disks) that was created
by oVirt yet (it only works with content that was created by VMware).
The OVA tar file should not be extracted and the path to the OVA should
include the filename, e.g., /export/ovirt/export/xx/my.ova

If you pack the directory's content into an OVA file, please note that the
OVF should be placed at the first entry.

There is a bug about changing 'path' to something like 'path to ova file'
in the import dialog [1], I may add a validation for that as well until
we'll also support the OVA directory format.
