(as a side node, I do not recommend using raw images, they can not be 
shrunk and have some other limitations)

My congratulations, you have found a bug! :)

I have fixed it in git (http://git.openvz.org/?p=ploop;a=commit;h=2e06c26)

  In the meanwhile please create an image in a subdirectory, not in root 
directory, i.e. something like /tmp/ploop.img should work.
