Richard, from the page you linked...

Configuring a raw file

--disk path=/guests/dom1/disk0.img,size=10,driver=file
Raw files are not recommended: it's almost always better to use one of the 
above methods instead. In particular, attempting to use raw files on a ZFS 
filesystem will be woefully slow.


....WOEFULLY SLOW!  I would highly recommend against this unless you are 
hosting the img file elsewhere (NFS) on a NON ZFS filesystem.
