I think you are right.  Max is the author of the tests, he can confirm
that the -o file.file.filename= syntax he used and the blkverify
driver only support the file protocol for now.

Peter: Please send another revision that restricts protocol to 'file'
for these tests.  It can be part of the patch that adjusts the other
test cases.
