You're right, the documentation isn't very clear there on what those old
and new names are for. I think you might be specifying multiple pool
names.
Can you try these steps instead and see if it works?
First, get a list of your pool names with `qvm-pool`. Then, clone your
existing VM to the target pool with:
qvm-clone -P <targetpoolname> <sourceVMname> <cloneVMname>
