You're libvirt might be compiled without OpenVZ support. Try

  LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh -c openvz:///system

and check if it's probing the OpenVZ driver.

On the other hand the OpenVZ driver checks for the existence of
/proc/vz and reports an error if it's not there

  $ virsh -c openvz:///system
  error: internal error OpenVZ control file /proc/vz does not exist
  error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

This might need to be changed/extended in your case, I don't know.
