Libvirtd errors

[cliff here]

So came into the office this morning, found out that
/var/lib/libvirtd/qemu/saves was symlinked and the contents deleted. Now
I'm experiencing all sorts of flakiness aside from the fact that the
machine save states are GONE! I have the original .img files for the
virtual hosts is there a way to salvage this given what has happened or is
this developer SOL?

Here is the output of /var/log/messages during a libvirtd restart
