I'm able to create the file with qemu-img, however, when I try to add
the disk (via virt-manager) I get the following error:
Are you sure you want to add this device?
This device could not be attached to the running machine. Would
you like to make the device available after the next guest shutdown?
internal error unable to execute QEMU command

I've also attached a screenshot. It looks like I'm getting similar
errors though with this method:

No dice with this either, I get the same error whether I define the
storage pool as a netfs or a filesystem directory (after I've already
mounted the gluster filesystem.)
