I'd write the last sentence as:
This avoids modifying const strings when using vshStringToArray.

Remove this before pushing please.

The volumes variable will need to be removed completely with the new
functionality. In cmdUndefine the volumes string was the copy of the
const argument that you're trying to avoid.
The unfortunate thing here is that "volumes" is used very wildly across
cmdUndefine. But the cure should be easy: you need to rename volumes_arg
to volumes. But this poses another problem:
Your function now allocates two things, but the previous callers (that
you didn't update free only one)
The first one is the array of strings that is populated with the string
fragments. This variable is freed normaly. The second one is the string
copy that is exploded into the array. And you don't free this one.
Fortunately, the way strsep and your code works has one advantage you
might use: The first element in the array is always pointing to the
beginning of the tokenized string (in your case to the memory you
allocated for the copy). So to free this you might want to do something
like:
VIR_FREE(*token_var);
VIR_FREE(token_var);
For this I'd go with a macro that does this (and adds a check as
token_var might be NULL).
char **volume_tokens = NULL;
char *volume_tok = NULL;
int nvolume_tokens = 0;

A nice improvement. The rest of the code looks okay, but I'd like to see
the fixed version before you push.
