I tested blktap with the same way as your operation.  But I did not 
encounter the command error as follows. 
But your thinking is right, so I wrote a small patch to remove the 
error message.  Could you test the patch again?

I'd like to improve the error message.  Could you give me thinking 
time about 2 weeks?
