Sorry, I thought all the pertinent info would be in the libguestfs test tool output I attached to my message.
The commands I've run that generate this error are: guestfish --ro -i -a /VM/Ubuntu-Media/Ubuntu-Media-Copy.vdi virt-df -ha /VM/Ubuntu-Media/Ubuntu-Media.vdi virt-df is version 1.7.17
I'm guessing CentOS 6.2. The error is right there in the output: qemu-kvm: -drive file=/VM/Ubuntu-Media/Ubuntu-Media-Copy.vdi,snapshot=on,if=virtio: could not open disk image /VM/Ubuntu-Media/Ubuntu-Media-Copy.vdi: Operation not supported qemu cannot understand this file. It could well be that VDI support is disabled in CentOS, or the file format is some later variant that qemu doesn't support. There's a newer version of libguestfs in RHEL 6.3, but the basic problem here is with qemu.
