I haven't played with lxc enough to answer your question, but you
*definitely* need to upgrade your Fedora installation - Fedora 16 has
been "out of support" (i.e. no new updates, not even for security holes)
for almost a year now. Even if you're building your own libvirt from
source (the 1.0.3 libvirt you're using is newer than the last update of
libvirt for F16, but still several months out of date), the other
packages on the system will be extremely out of date and likely to cause
problems that will never be fixed (because no F16 package will ever
again be updated).
