[one-users] VM Failed with Windows OS

[Steven Timm]

The errors that you are pointing out, don't seem to have
any direct connection to the fact that you are trying to
install a windows VM, there is nothing windows-specific about them.
Looks like OpenNebula failed to clone the blank windows image
to the system datastore due to some permissions issue.
