That explains it. Older virsh had lousy command line handling.

Yep, I added the 'virsh echo' command when I fixed command line parsing.
Meanwhile, you don't have to use virsh. You could write your own C
program that directly calls virDomainSnapshotDelete() from libvirt.so,
or you could use python bindings. I'm not a python whiz, but I think it
would probably be something like:
$ python
>>> import libvirt
>>> conn = libvirt.open(None)
>>> dom = conn.lookupByName("DOMINO1-prealloc")
>>> snap = dom.snapshotLookupByName("W2K3-virgin install", 0)
>>> snap.delete(0)
>>> quit()

Just because virsh command-line parsing is lousy doesn't mean that the
underlying APIs won't work - you just have to get at them from somewhere
other than virsh.
