Seems that I found the problem. The code which iterates over the LVs
explicitely ignores snapshot volumes.

tools/toollib.c:
| 62         list_iterate_items(lvl, &vg->lvs) {
| 63                if (lvl->lv->status & SNAPSHOT)
| 64                        continue;

This code is new in 2.01.10 or 2.01.11.

Well, Jim, I'm not much of an actor either.

Use lvs -a to see them.

It was fixed in CVS a couple of weeks ago, but isn't included in a
release yet.  I'll issue another release shortly.
