Cannot creat a kvm clone using 'virst-clone' in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Issue

Cannot creat a kvm clone using virst-clone. virt-clone is giving the error "Domain test-0.img was not found"

#cd /var/lib/libvirt/image
#virt-clone --original woc-valildation-0.img --name woc-validation-2.img --nonsparse --file /var/lib/libvirt/images/woc-validation-2.img
Domain test-0.img was not found

This happens also if I use the full path name.  It also happens if I use virt-clone --prompt.

We have three guests and it happens with all three.

[root@test images]# virt-clone --original test-0 --name 
woc-validation-4 --file /var/lib/libvirt/images/test-5.img
ERROR    Domain 'woc-validation-0' was not found.
ERROR    An original machine name or xml file is required. (use --prompt to run interactively)
