I assume these files exist in the system and you restarted libvirtd
after adding this option in the config file.

Then there's not much to tell just from the looks of it.  Is that the
latest libvirt you are trying?  Is there something about the nvram in
the output of 'virsh capabilitites'?  If all else fails, debug logs
should help [1]
