We'll need you to increase the log level to get more detail in this
file.

1. Stop the 'libvirtd' daemon

2. Edit /etc/libvirt/lxc.conf and set  log_with_libvirtd=1

3. Run 

   $  LIBVIRT_LOG_FILTERS=1:lxc LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS=1:stderr /usr/sbin/libvirtd

4. rm -f /var/log/libvirt/lxc/dwj-hfax-dev.log

5. Try to start your guest with virsh


Now send us the much more verbose logfile that was created
