This is an invalid invocation.

I just tested on my Fedora-20 machine, trying to boot a Fedora-19 VM it
works for me:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata \
/export/vmimages/f19vm 4G
$ virt-install --name f19vm --disk /export/vmimages/f19vm \
--cdrom /export/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-19-1.iso \
--memory 2048
Starting install...
Creating domain...
.
.
.
But, I should mention that I'm using virt packages from Rawhide:
$ rpm -q virt-install libvirt-daemon-kvm qemu-system-x86
virt-install-1.0.1-3.fc21.noarch
libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.2.6-1.fc20.x86_64
qemu-system-x86-2.0.0-1.fc21.x86_64

Ensure you have correct permissions to allow QEMU to access disk images
in your $HOME directory:
$ chmod o+rx $HOME
I guess that should resolve it.
