These indicate that AppArmor is denying access to the backing store, thus, your delta image will not work.
You're going to need add a rule into /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu so that the backing store can be read. Something like:
/data/virtual/var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu910server64.qcow2 r,
or
/data/virtual/var/lib/libvirt/images/* r,
