That means either there already is another libvirtd running or the previous one died unexpectedly without removing this PID file. You can distinguish these two via 'pgrep libvirtd' which either gives you the very same PID as the one in the PID file (=libvirtd is running) or nothing and than you should be safe to remove the file and start libvirtd again. However, if libvirtd keeps failing to initialize, there might be a misconfiguration problem (and libvirt bug as well since we ought to remove PID file before quiting).
