In general, converting a disk image from one hypervisor to another is
not trivial, because of things such as missing drivers and different
hardware being presented to the guest.  The virt-v2v project exists to
cover a lot of cases that you are probably overlooking in your manual
attempt; I'd recommend trying that approach:

This disclaimer is unenforceable on a publicly-archived mailing list.
You might want to consider using a personal email account rather than
spamming the list with your employer's bogus legalese.
