You are not supposed to talk to libvirtd from any hooks.

If you're trying to update the domain's configuration from the hook,
you caused a deadlock between libvirt and your hook. Thus your hook
script will never finish and libvirtd will be waiting for the hook to
finish and it will never start the domain.
