[Bug 1330572] [NEW] virt-manager fails to create a filesystem passthrough with the Proxy driver

[Fatboy Maximus]

Public bug reported:

In the "Add New Virtual Hardware" dialog virt-manager let's you create a
filesystem passthrough with the "Proxy" type. That's very useful for
safely sharing data owned by a user. However the process fails to
complete with an error:

Error adding device: unsupported configuration: unknown fs driver type
'proxy'

The traceback of the error is:

Error adding device: unsupported configuration: unknown fs driver type
'proxy'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/addhardware.py", line 1197, in add_device
    self.vm.add_device(self._dev)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 406, in add_device

  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/libvirtobject.py", line 137, in _redefine_helper

  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 879, in _define
    self.conn.define_domain(newxml)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 814, in define_domain
    return self.vmm.defineXML(xml)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 3237, in defineXML
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainDefineXML() failed', conn=self)
libvirtError: unsupported configuration: unknown fs driver type 'proxy'

This seems wrong because "virtfs-proxy-helper" is installed.
