Hi Zach,

As a general direction thought, it kind of sounds like you should look
into using "sessions" for this.  Instead of connecting to the "system 
wide" version of things, like you're doing at home.

There's some info on it here:

   http://libvirt.org/uri.html#URI_qemu

But, other pages (and Google) might be more helpful there.  It's not an 
area I've personally looked at (yet), but it sounds like it might be 
what you're after.

Does that help? :)

Regards and best wishes,
