Typo.  The "certificate" after the CA is misspelled.  ("f" instead of "t"
in it).  The wording for this paragraph could probably be tweaked
a bit anyway.  How about something like:

  Specifies the x509 certificates path for the client.  If any of the
  CA certificate, client certificate, or client key are missing, the
  connection will fair with a fatal error.

Indentation is off?

(yeah, I'm being picky, they're not actually Too Bad as it is) :)

Indentation again?

"For a non-root user, ..."  maybe?

"trys" -> "tries"

Needs to be a full stop rather than a comma at the end of the "pki/libvirt" string.
The "If once of the ..." text after is sounds like a new sentence.

Missing a space before the "(/etc" bit.

It's probably slightly better wording to add "then the" before the word "global"
here too.  So its "then the global".  It just sounds better. :)

Indentation.

"For the root user, ..."
