Ahh, my mistake, reckless cutting and pasting.  The error was this:

virDomainCreate() failed QEMU quit during console startup
Could not parse VNC address

Here's my XML domain.  I grabbed it off of libvirt's documentation.  I'm 
not sure what uuid should be.  If you could explain that, that would be 
great too.

cam at madhatter:~/KVM/feisty$ cat kvm-feisty.xml
<domain type='kvm'>
   <name>kvm-feisty</name>
   <uuid>4dea24b3-1d52-d8f3-2516-782e98a23fa0</uuid>
   <memory>393216</memory>
   <vcpu>1</vcpu>
   <os>
     <type>hvm</type>
   </os>
   <clock sync="localtime"/>
   <devices>
     <emulator>/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
     <disk type='file' device='disk'>
       <source file='/home/cam/KVM/feisty/feisty.img'/>
       <target dev='hda'/>
     </disk>
     <interface type='user'>
       <mac address='52:54:00:12:34:60'/>
     </interface>
     <graphics type='vnc' port='5900'/>
   </devices>
</domain>

It's the same error from the command line:

cam at madhatter:~/KVM/feisty$ sudo virsh -c qemu:///system start kvm-feisty
Password:
libvir: QEMU error : QEMU quit during console startup
Could not parse VNC address
error: Failed to start domain kvm-feisty

libvirtd spits out the same error as before:

virDomainCreate() failed QEMU quit during console startup
Could not parse VNC address

Thanks again,
