Just try throwing ideas out there... I actually use virtualbox tools to convert all my disks... VBoxManage clonehd
Once converted to a raw image I use KVM to import to my storage and than v2v to import it to oVirt. I have a small script I wrote that does this automatically for me.... I have converted .vdi, .vmdk, .qcow2, etc.... It has never fail me...
