As has been pointed out, SELinux may prevent that from working with a
simple symlink. You have two options that will work:
1: Create a symlink and set the context of the link destination to the
same context used for /var/lib/libvirt/images. Use semanage to make the
changes permanent, or else a restorecon might break the system:

2: Use a "bind" mount instead of a symlink. Enter a line in /etc/fstab
like this one:
/bigger/fs /var/lib/libvirt/images none bind 0 0
Then, mount /var/lib/libvirt/images and "restorecon -r -v
/var/lib/libvirt/images"
