You can just use "mon 'profile rbd' osd 'profile rbd'" for the caps --
but you definitely need more than read-only permissions to the remote
cluster since it needs to be able to create snapshots of remote images
and update/trim the image journals.

Please use "mon 'profile rbd-mirror' osd 'profile rbd'" for your caps [1].

If it's still broken after fixing your caps above, perhaps increase
debugging for "rados", "monc", "auth", and "ms" to see if you can
determine the source of the op not supported error.

Yes and yes.

This is in-development right now and will hopefully land for the
Octopus release.
