Bob, the kvm volume snapshots should work and it is working for me and many others, however in a very inefficient, slow and suboptimal way.
There could be multiple reasons why it is failing for you. you need to look at the management server logs and also at the agent and qemu logs on the host server. It should show the reason for failure. In my experience, the issues are usually down to the problems with the secondary storage, so also check that there are not issues on the SSVM, that it has the secondary storage mounted and can write to it.
