I cannot say that I understand your setup, but if you have nested
virtuallization (such as a Xen udom) you may experience ovirt's
no-mac-spoofing rule: by default we disallow our VMs to emit traffic
that has different mac address from the one assigned by oVirt.

To avoid this, follow http://www.ovirt.org/Vdsm_Hooks#Installing_a_hook
and report if that's the issue.
