Hi Harri,

I spun up a Debian testing box with the versions of libvirt, iet &
open-iscsi that you're using, and it works fine for me.  My pool xml
is:

<pool type="iscsi">
  <name>iscsitest</name>
  <source>
    <host name="localhost"/>
    <device path="iqn.2001-04.com.example:foobarbaz"/>
  </source>
  <target>
    <path>/dev/disk/by-path</path>
  </target>
</pool>

Gives the 3 configured LUs as volumes:

Name                 Path                                    
-----------------------------------------
3.0.0.0              /dev/disk/by-path/ip-127.0.0.1:3260-iscsi-iqn.2001-04.com.example:foobarbaz-lun-0
3.0.0.1              /dev/disk/by-path/ip-127.0.0.1:3260-iscsi-iqn.2001-04.com.example:foobarbaz-lun-1
3.0.0.2              /dev/disk/by-path/ip-127.0.0.1:3260-iscsi-iqn.2001-04.com.example:foobarbaz-lun-2

Is your target path in your xml what you think it is?
