Alas, _this_ is the case mentioned where you have to pre-create the
destination file, because libvirt hasn't yet been taught to auto-create
it.  But with --copy-storage-all in use, you should now be fine just
touch'ing the file before attempting the migration.

Welcome to the community, and hope to hear more from you!
