Could anyone please list out the steps required to run the command 
$virsh qemu-agent-command

Steps that I followed:

1. Clone the latest source code of libvirt 

2. Create a vm of f18 (source:liveCD)
3. Edit f18 domain xml and add this:
<channel type='unix'>
   <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/f16x86_64.agent'/>
   <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
</channel>
4. On host: #./tools/virsh start f18
5. On guest: #yum install qemu-guest-agent -y
6. On host: # ./tools/virsh qemu-agent-command f18 '{"execute":"guest-network-get-interfaces"}'

Expected Response:

{"return":[{"name":"lo","ip-addresses":[{"ip-address-type":"ipv4","ip-address":"127.0.0.1","prefix":8},{"ip-address-type":"ipv6","ip-address":"::1","prefix":128}],"hardware-address":"00:00:00:00:00:00"},{"name":"eth0","ip-addresses":[{"ip-address-type":"ipv4","ip-address":"192.168.122.62","prefix":24},{"ip-address-type":"ipv6","ip-address":"fe80::5054:ff:fe14:9998","prefix":64}],"hardware-address":"52:54:00:14:99:98"}]}

Actual result:
(null)

Where am I going wrong?
