That's because this error message does not come from libvirt but
PolicyKit. I suspect that either you did not install "*.policy" files:
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/50-libvirt.rules
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.libvirt.unix.policy
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.libvirt.api.policy
or you did, but polkit daemon wasn't restarted (though I would have
sworn it can reload rules dynamically).
