The first list only seems to work ok because qemu silently ignores 
everything after the space, especially the cache=off which won't work 
with qow2 before Rev 4599. That's probably not what you wanted. You 
really need the comma.

The wrong syntax also explains why you always get the default for the 
snapshot option.

Actually, "qemu: could not open disk image xyz" is the expected 
behaviour before Rev 4599.
