Looks ok, except for this part:

-        if path != None:
-            self.path = os.path.abspath(path)
-        else:
-            self.path = None
-            type  = VirtualDisk.TYPE_FILE # Arbitrary choice but avoids the null-path null-type case
-
+        self.path = path
+
+        if __builtin__.type(self.path) is not __builtin__.type("string"):
+            raise ValueError, _("The disk path must be a string.")
+        self.path = os.path.abspath(self.path)
+

And a few places following it which don't cope with fact that self.path
is allowed to be None. Path is allowed to be None for CDROMs so we can
setup a disk whichout any media inserted.


BTW, can you fix your Thunderbird so it either sends patches as text/plain,
or just inlines them.

Using text/x-patch as a type makes quoting & replying harder.

Dan.
