Is that right? Here I'm successfully cloning a volume across two storage pools:
$ ipython
Python 3.4.5 (default, Mar 23 2017, 19:22:46)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

In [1]: import libvirt
In [2]: conn=libvirt.open("qemu:///system")
In [3]: poolD=conn.storagePoolLookupByName("default")
In [4]: poolT=conn.storagePoolLookupByName("tmp")
In [5]: volF=poolD.storageVolLookupByName("fedora.qcow2")
In [6]: poolT.createXMLFrom?
Signature: poolT.createXMLFrom(xmlDesc, clonevol, flags=0)
Docstring:
Create a storage volume in the parent pool, using the
'clonevol' volume as input. Information for the new
volume (name, perms) are passed via a typical volume
XML description.
Since 1.0.1 VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_PREALLOC_METADATA
in flags can be used to get higher performance with
qcow2 image files which don't support full preallocation,
by creating a sparse image file with metadata.
virStorageVolFree should be used to free the resources after the
storage volume object is no longer needed.
