I haven't looked specifically, but it's more likely that qemu in RHEL 6
beta has been compiled without vmdk support. libguestfs itself doesn't
know anything about vmdk.

So in RHEL6, virt-v2v must first convert vmdk format image into qcow2
format image, and then do other converting, because libguestfs in RHEL6
cannot manage vmdk image directly?
