Minor nitpick - if dummy0 is the device associated with the 
container in the host's context, then it should be

     <interface type='ethernet'>
       <ip prefix='24' address='192.168.20.4' />
       <target dev="dummy0"/>
     </interface>

I think I'd prefer to call these '<filesystem>' elements instead
of '<disk>' because they don't really have the same functional 
properties as disks.

Are the sources actual directories too ? Or are the sources block
devs / files which are mounted inside ? The example paths suggest
the former, but the presence of filesystem type info suggests the
latter.

Dan.
