Hello Rich,
Well, that stinks.
I really appreciate the quick responses. Thank you for your time and effort, too. I will
see what I can do to solve this problem some other way. Maybe I can virtualize my disk
image maker.
Thanks,
Mark

The problem is that the disk image uses qcow2 features which were added in RHEL 7. RHEL 6
is simply unable to read or process this disk image.
The only solution here is to update the host to RHEL 7 / CentOS 7.
Rich.
