What version of libvirtd are you running on both the source and
destination?  There is a known nasty bug in a few versions prior to
1.0.5 where migration could trigger a race that would kill the source
libvirtd, so if you aren't testing with the latest version on both ends,
then upgrade first.  Also, what version of qemu are you running on the
two ends?

Does the /var/log/libvirt/qemu/uno.log file on either the source or
destination shed more light?

This list is fine.
