libvirt in F12 runs the qemu binary as a non-root user (qemu:qemu) for security reasons. This is a change from F11. In order for this to work, libvirtd (running as root) attempts to temporarily change the user:group of all files being used by the qemu binary. Since the root user can't change your ISO perms due to root_squash, this is failing. I would recommend moving your ISO out of your root_squash'ed directory.
