I saw that but assumed there was something else wrong.

According to Red Hat virtualization documentation qemu-img supposedly supports converting vdi images, so qemu should know how to read them at least.  Libguestfs is not standalone?  So it requires qemu-kvm to load the image before it can mount it?  I don't find any reference to whether vdi is officially supported in RHEL 6 or not other than the qemu-img.
