I DO NOT have /usr/lib/libmagic.so.1 present.
Have you tried installing or updating the 'file' package?

yes, *rpm -q file* gives,
[root@centos-test ~]# rpm -q file
file-4.17-15.el5_3.1
$ rpm -q file
file-4.17-15.el5_3.1
$ rpm -ql file
[...]
/usr/lib/libmagic.so.1
This machine is i386.
If yours is x86-64, then it could be a multilib brokenness problem.
You will need to remove the libguestfs.i386 package, block it so that
it never gets installed, and reinstall the libguestfs.x86_64 package.
