Sorry, the problem was too simple that I get it only now.

The problem is with the owner of the /var/lib/libvirtd/images folder:

casseruola:/var/lib# ls -la libvirt/
totale 4
drwxr-xr-x  6 root         root   55 17 mar 15:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 40 root         root 4096 17 mar 15:32 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root         root    6 18 dic  2008 boot
drwx------  2 root         root   71 17 mar 15:39 images
drwxr-xr-x  2 root         root   24 17 mar 15:15 network
drwxr-xr-x  2 libvirt-qemu kvm     6 17 mar 15:17 qemu

casseruola:/var/lib# chown libvirt-qemu:kvm libvirt/images/

Permission denied is disappeared. The bug is probably in the debian
install script of libvirtd-bin package.

Thank you for your interest.

Bye.
