Xen is not KVM.

Your image has the xen_image_t label because its in /var/lib/xen/images

By default KVM images live in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ and have
virt_image_t label. Xen probably ought to be allowed to read virt_image_t
and then we should change /var/lib/xen/images/ to also be virt_image_t
and get rid of xen_image_t. It is not nice to have different labels and
locations for different virt technology. So we should make sure everything
is using the generic virt_image_t

In the meantime you can either move your images or relabel them to be
virT_image_t for use with KVM

Daniel.
