Yes, it clearly should be return 0.

The newly improved virExec() API which LXC now uses ensures that libvirt's
error callback is reset to the default in child processes. This means that
any call to virRaiseError in the child is turned into a fprintf(stderr...).
We also wire the container stdout/err to /var/log/libvirt/lxc/NAME.log
So if everything is operating as I expect, all the lxcError() calls in
this code should result in log messages being written out to /var/log.
