Make sure you followed the setup guide precisely

  http://libvirt.org/remote.html#Remote_certificates

The docs here are known to work successfully - problems people report
typically come from creating certs in the wrong way, or putting them
in the wrong location. Be particularly wary of the 'openssl' command
line tool - it generates useless certificates by default.

Also run the 'virt-pki-validate' tool on your host to check things
are in the right location.

Daniel
