libvirt users - Jan 2016 - Trouble with volume permissions

I'm working on an integration that uses QCOW2 volumes with backing stores.
I have qemu configured to run as the "qemu" user, which seems to be
fine. I
now need to make sure my volumes are readable by this user. However, it
seems the volume being created is owned by root, instead of "qemu" as
I'd
expect it to be. I tried various things and was unable to get it to create
the file as the correct user. I've supplied a link to the XML I'm using
to
create the volumes. If anyone has any ideas it would be massively helpful.

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean.  If I use your XML, the user is set to
107:107.  Are you sure qemu has uid 107 on your system?  Anyway, if you
have 'dynamic_ownership' set to '1' in the configuration, you
don't need
to bother with that.  Libvirt will set all the labels automagically.
