This patch works fine for urls like:

nfs://192.168.50.2/cobblernfs/winxp.iso

but does not work for

nfs://192.168.50.2:/cobblernfs/winxp.iso

And according to the cobbler site:
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/AllAboutImages

The format for nfs urls should look like:
nfs://user@host:/path/to/foo.iso --image-type=iso

The problem is if you put the : in the url after the hostname two colons 
are put into the libvirt xml and the mount then fails.

This needs to be fixed, but .96 will be released with this error.  For .96 
people will just need to use:

nfs://host/dir/file.iso

Since that is the format that does work
