I think I ran into a similar issue on Fedora 8 the first time I set 
things up.  I think I had to do the following:

1) Remove the classes from root#virt and root#interop.
2) Re-add the classes to root#virt and root#interop (see 
http://libvirt.org/CIM/schema.html for more info)
3) Run make preuninstall, make uninstall, make, make install, make 
postinstall in the libvirt-cim directory.

If the make postinstall still fails, trying running make preuninstall 
and then make postinstall again.
