Craig,
Try this:
mkdir -p /etc/libvirt/libxl/autostart
cd /etc/libvirt/libxl/autostart
ln -s /etc/libvirt/libxl/[name-of-vm].xml
I just verified that worked for me... Here is my setup:
[root at host-1 ~]# ls -latr /etc/libvirt/libxl
total 24
drwx------. 6 root root 4096 Jun 26 15:31 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 1279 Jul 19 12:36 pulp.xml
-rw------- 1 root root 1279 Aug 1 12:38 solr.xml
-rw------- 1 root root 1300 Aug 4 13:01 workstation.xml
-rw------- 1 root root 1306 Aug 8 12:48 atomic-master.xml
-rw------- 1 root root 1271 Aug 8 12:48 db.xml
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 111 Aug 16 12:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 28 Aug 16 12:12 autostart
[root at host-1 ~]#
[root at host-1 ~]# ls -latr /etc/libvirt/libxl/autostart/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 111 Aug 16 12:12 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Aug 16 12:12 workstation.xml ->
/etc/libvirt/libxl/workstation.xml
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 28 Aug 16 12:12 .
Hope that helps!
