[one-users] trying to troubleshoot onevm shutdown/stop/restart

	Greetings,

	I am trying to troubleshoot our OpenNebula 2.0 installation (w/ kvm) and would appreciate some help.
When we run onevm shutdown <VID> or onevm stop <VID>, the VM fails to stop and enters the 'fail' state.  Once in this state, it can not be restarted using onevm restart or repaired in any way.  We have been deleting the vm and creating it again, which is time consuming and wasteful.   (We are using the $one_location=/srv/vm/ self contained option).


	Examination of the vm.log of a failed vm reveals:
Mon Apr 11 18:46:21 2011 [TM][I]: ERROR MESSAGE --8<------
Mon Apr 11 18:46:21 2011 [TM][I]: mv: cannot stat `/srv/cloud/var/600/images': No such file or directory
Mon Apr 11 18:46:21 2011 [TM][I]: ERROR MESSAGE ------>8--
Mon Apr 11 18:46:21 2011 [TM][I]: ExitCode: 1
Mon Apr 11 18:46:21 2011 [TM][I]: tm_mv.sh: Moving /srv/cloud/var/600/images
Mon Apr 11 18:46:21 2011 [TM][I]: tm_mv.sh: ERROR: Command "mv /srv/cloud/var/600/images /srv/vm/600/images" failed.
Mon Apr 11 18:46:21 2011 [TM][I]: tm_mv.sh: ERROR: mv: cannot stat `/srv/cloud/var/600/images': No such file or directory
Mon Apr 11 18:46:21 2011 [TM][E]: Error excuting image transfer script: mv: cannot stat `/srv/cloud/var/600/images': No such file or directory
Mon Apr 11 18:46:21 2011 [DiM][I]: New VM state is FAILED

For some reason, onevm thinks the images are located at /srv/cloud/var/600/images.  The images are located in /srv/vm/<VID>/images/.  The create and delete options for onevm know how to find them there, but for some reason, the stop and shutdown options keep looking in the wrong place.  

I could manually create a link to the images directory to solve this, but with over 600 vm's, that's a bit painful, and we would have to remember to re-create the link with every new vm.

Does anyone know where this location is set for onevm stop and onevm shutdown, as it is not in oned.conf or the env?
The tm_mv.sh script is accepting the source and destination locations via stdin, but I don't know what is calling the tm_mv.sh script.


           Thanks,
