[libvirt-users] Unable to detach disk using 'virsh detach-disk'

I'm unable to detach a disk from a Windows guest using the 'virsh 
detach-disk' command.

Even though 'domblklist' shows the disk attached, and on the FIRST 
iteration, it says the command "completed successfully," 'domblklist 
will still show the disk attached and subsequent 'detach-disk' commands 
fail with 'no disk found whose source path or target is ${location}'



~ # virsh domblklist 31907-1063435
Target     Source
------------------------------------------------
vda        ${concatenated}/31907-1063435/2018-04-28-190529

${concatenated}/31907-67863/2018-03-21-033216.2018-04-28-190529

~ # virsh detach-disk --domain 31907-1063435 
/var/lib/libvirt/images/instances/31907-67863/2018-03-21-033216.2018-04-28-190529 
--persistent
error: No disk found whose source path or target is 
/var/lib/libvirt/images/instances/31907-67863/2018-03-21-033216.2018-04-28-190529



Any ideas as to why this happens?
