No problem. I then manually created an xml definition for libvirt and defined it.
Machine boots and runs fine. However, when I go to import into RHEV, I get the following.

This isn't the right list for virt-v2v questions. That would be
libguestfs(a)redhat.com.
However the larger problem here is that doing offline conversions like
this isn't the way to use virt-v2v. Virt-v2v needs to connect to the
ESX server, and won't work in any other configuration.

^^^ This is fixed. Certainly in RHEL 6.2, possibly even before that. I
don't think it's causing your problem, though.

^^^ This is a warning which can be ignored. It has gone away in recent
libguestfs.

^^^ These errors both almost certainly have the same underlying cause:
libguestfs inspection didn't mount the various filesystems properly.

This isn't the right list for virt-v2v questions. That would be

However the larger problem here is that doing offline conversions like
this isn't the way to use virt-v2v. Virt-v2v needs to connect to the
ESX server, and won't work in any other configuration.
As Rich says, connecting directly to the ESX server is by far the best
way to do this conversion.
If possible, could you also please use the about-to-be-released virt-v2v
from RHEL 6.2. You should find it in the beta channel for the moment. As
always, it contains a large number of fixes. If that doesn't help, could
you please send a description of the problem, and the output of your
conversion run with LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 to libguestfs(a)redhat.com?
Thanks,
Matt

I subscribed to the appropriate beta channels, updated virt-v2v, libguestfs, and
augeas-libs and the conversion tool ran and completed successfully.
