I've tried that - no change.  Although as far as I can tell the qemu-kvm 
in the SL 6.2 security updates (which I was originally running) is the 
same version that is shipped in 6.4, so wasn't upgraded.

As mentioned, I've not found any especially good documentation online 
specifically referring to Scientific Linux / RHEL, etc. But something I 
did find suggested that RHEL doesn't support live snapshotting but RHEV 
does.  I don't know how accurate this is or how it relates to Scientific 
Linux though.
