Yes, In this case the users are valid via LDAP, however the upgrade was being completed when the LDAP was unavailable. It was not the libvirt group, but the "admin" group as you noted. Once complete I re-added the users to the admin group and authentication and authorizations via LDAP was fine post-upgrade.
Perhaps this implementation is flawed, but it is a packaged MDS implementation on Debian in the backend, and works well for mixed Windows/Debian/Ubuntu environments where users and groups transcend many different servers but have common home directory and authentication. If you can beat NFS+LDAP for common desktops across linux/unix domains, I am interested to know. Maybe Karmic+Eucalyptus is the end game, but we have this for now.
