So the problem is that as you can see from reading the messages, it
can't load the client key file (from
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/etc/pki/libvirt/private/clientkey.pem).

This path is compiled into libvirt, so the only way to change it is to
recompile libvirt with sysconfdir set to a more suitable path:

  ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc

for example (and create /etc/pki ... on Windows).

This worked, obviously because it's not using GnuTLS for encryption.
