Thanks - this was fixed in #220. The bug was due to the qcow2 image being held by a paused vm. This appears to be a new (sensibe feature) in qemu which prevents data loss. Macpine now stops the instance (instead of suspending it) and then restarts it again. Publishing a suspended VM (alpine pause) returns an error.
