Hi Steve,

It is simple.
Address should be the address of the storage daemon, not the path of
the mountpoint that belongs to the storage.

The path for the storage should be specified in the storage daemon
configuration in the Device resource.

Note that there is also a comment that says: "Use a fully qualified
name here".
