I believe that I just find the answer for this question. I have been
beating up myself for the last few hours and I was getting the same
error that you posted. 

****************Test Environment**************
2 Laptops
1 of the two laptop has several linux KVMs

**********************************************

The reason why you are not able to connect with the KVM Guest is because
by default KVM Guest uses VNC, which will conflict with tiger-vncserver.

What is your current VM environment, to resolved the issue I switch from
VNC to spice for the choice of display for the KVM Guest and I was
finally able to establish communication with the KVM guest.

Let me know if this works for you.
