What distro?  If this is a Fedora-based distro, I would guess that this is a
SELinux issue, where you haven't set up libvirt to know that you want to use
/var/lib/one/datastores as a libvirt image repository, therefore it is
labeled incorrectly and SELinux denies attempts to use it.  If I'm right,
then the solution would be to create a storage pool for that directory, so
that libvirt will then know to alter the labeling of that directory and thus
permit access to the images contained inside.
 [If you're using a debian-based distro, then the same comments probably
apply to your appArmor setup, but I'm not as familiar with setting that up]
