Thanks for your reply. Oddly, I didnt receive an email to me, but only 
in the archives !

I've disabled AppArmor for now and it works fine, so there is some 
unwanted issue there. Strangely, looking again apparmor is still enabled 
when guest is running after reboot. Possibly rebooting the guest and 
using dynamic appamor instead of static has helped ?

I'm using vers 1.84 of QEMU/Kvm from dnjl's PPA for Lucid.
