This says that you want to create an external snapshot...

But this did not request the --disk-only flag, and was not executed
with (unreleased) libvirt 1.0.1.  Older libvirt doesn't support
external snapshots without the --disk-only flag (but the next
release will; assuming that you have new enough qemu).

This says your qemu is too old.  External snapshots were not possible
until upstream qemu 1.2; it is also available if you use RHEV 3.0
from Red Hat (but NOT if you use RHEL 6.3).

Yes, since you are trying code that hasn't been implemented
for the versions of software you have installed.
