Is this the reason why the first command fails, but the others work ok
for me?
virt-filesystems -v -c qemu+ssh:///system -d sles11sp2 --all --long
virt-rescue -v -c qemu+ssh:///system -d opensuse12 -r
virsh -c qemu+ssh:///system list --all
virt-rescue doesn't use the libvirt backend. See:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/2e36adf83ce4a9cbccd313d6f...
This is just a shortcoming of the libvirt backend, albeit a
complicated one to fix.
