Hrrm, that's a bit tricky to debug.  You can check the logs
in /var/log/ovirt-server/db-omatic.log and look for clues.  The other
thing to try is to run
'ruby /usr/share/ovirt-server/qmf-libvirt-example.rb' and you should
see a list of servers with various attributes printed out.  If you just
get ---'s then according to qpid, you don't have any nodes connected.

libvirt-qpid is running ok.

Hope that helps.. let me know how you make out.
