The comment is essential :)

+    virCommandAddArgFormat(cmd,
+         "'if %s -q 2>&1 | grep \"requires an argument\">/dev/null 2>&1; then"
+         "     ARG=-q0;"
+         "fi;"
+         "%s $ARG -U %s'",

This relies on ARG not being inherited from the environment. Probably safe, but just out of paranoia, and in a desire to compress things a bit, I'd go with either a pre-initialization:

s/'if %s/'ARG=;if %s/

or an else clause to the if-then-fi.

Also, since we aren't using any space after ;, why do we need four spaces before ARG=-q0? We need at least one space (or a newline) after 'then', but either we should use newline after each part of the command (to match how it is listed in the source) or compress things to minimal size.

+         netcat ? netcat : "nc",
+         netcat ? netcat : "nc",

Micro-optimization: prior to the virCommandAddArgFormat, I would have done:

if (!netcat)
    netcat = "nc";

then just directly used netcat here instead of dual ?:. But that's a nit that you don't have to worry about (patch 3/3 does the same thing).

Feel free to break this into multiple string literals; along expected newline boundaries might be nice:

.expectOut = "somehost sh -c "
    "'if ...; then\n"
    "    ARG=-q0\n"
    "fi\n"
    "nc $ARG ...";

(or whatever it takes to match any changes you make above).

ACK with nits fixed.
