Your configuration is fine, but you are probably using a libvirt
version older than 0.9.2.

There is a difference between the -c option and the connect command in
virsh. Without the -c option libvirt tries to auto-detect the
connection URI and fails and then never tries the connection URI you
gave to the connect command.

So either use the -c option instead of the connect command, or update
your libvirt version to 0.9.2 or newer to make the connect command
working as expected in your case.
