I see 2 problems here:

- you shouldn't use virtio for cdrom
- I don't know where the <driver name='file'/> comes from

Here's an example of a working CROM device:

    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/iso/Fedora-11-x86_64-DVD.iso'/>
      <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
      <readonly/>
    </disk>

Oh, you should also check security contexts if you have SELinux enabled.
(it may be better to put all your iso under /var/lib/libvirt/)
