[Pacemaker] fence_xvm / fence_virtd problem

Hi all,

   I'm trying to play with pacemaker on fedora 19 (pre-release) and I am 
having trouble getting the guests to talk to the host.

 From the host, I can run;

lemass:/home/digimer# fence_xvm -o list
pcmk1                83f6abdc-bb48-d794-4aca-13f091f32c8b on
pcmk2                2d778455-de7d-a9fa-994c-69d7b079fda8 on

I can fence the guests from the host as well. However, I can not get the 
list (or fence) from the quests;

[root at pcmk1 ~]# fence_xvm -o list
Timed out waiting for response
Operation failed

I suspect a multicast issue, but so far as I can tell, multicast is 
enabled on the bridge;

I tried specifying the mcast address and port without success.

The host's config is:

lemass:/home/digimer# cat /etc/fence_virt.conf
backends {
	libvirt {
		uri = "qemu:///system";
	}

}

listeners {
	multicast {
		port = "1229";
		family = "ipv4";
		interface = "virbr0";
		address = "239.192.214.190";
		key_file = "/etc/cluster/fence_xvm.key";
	}

}

fence_virtd {
	module_path = "/usr/lib64/fence-virt";
	backend = "libvirt";
	listener = "multicast";
}

The cluster forms and corosync is using multicast, so I am not sure if 
mcast really is the problem.

Any tips/help?

Thanks!
