unable to find any master var store for loader error

[daggs]

Greetings,

I have the following machine: https://dpaste.com/5BPA3F77F which I'm trying to boot in uefi.
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf looks like this: https://dpaste.com/B3SFHUY6R and the ovmf files exists in the path, see:
# ll /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1966080 Aug 21 14:32 /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1966080 Aug 21 14:32 /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  131072 Aug 21 14:32 /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  131072 Aug 21 14:32 /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd

when I try to start the machine, I get this error:
error: Failed to start domain vm1
error: operation failed: unable to find any master var store for loader: /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd

libvirt version is 6.7.0 and qemu version is 5.1.0

any idea how to fix this issue?

Thanks.

Dagg.
