In the case where we are going to read the disk directly from the OVA file (partial = true), we will create a qcow2 image backed by the OVA. If running as root, libvirt will run qemu as a non-root user (because of no qemu:///session support for root, which is a libvirt bug). qemu will not be able to read the backing file and thus will fail.
To work around this problem, chmod the backing (OVA) file.
This isn't a complete fix since (eg) the OVA might be located in a directory which isn't accessible by root, but there's only so much we can do here until libvirt is fixed.
