If you have SELinux enabled, then this will fail because the disk image is
under in a permitted directory. SELinux policy requires disk images to be
in either /xen (for legacy compat), or /var/lib/xen/images (current preferred).
If you really really want to keep disk images elsewhere, then you need to
add the extra directory to the policy & make sure its labelled, eg
To add to policy:
semanage fcontext --add -t xen_image_t '/home/admin/xen(/.*)?'
And then to label the dir:
restorecon /home/admin/xen
Regards,
Dan.
