This is correct: The vtpm manager tries to use the TPM, but can not take ownership because the TPM was in use before.
If you clear your TPM (should be a BIOS option, perhaps you need to press a special key on boot or set some jumper), and then start the vtpm manager again, you should be fine.

HTH,
