hrm. can you try copying the disk image off of the NFS share to a local 
disk and then do the checks or convert? from the first error message in 
your original post, i would guess that the error was qemu-img had an 
error in reading data from the file. i don't know of any qcow2 fixing 
tool. if the problem is reading the file off of the isilon cluster, then 
there isn't much that the qemu tools are going to be able to do. at 
least as far as i know.

sry i dont have more info to give and good luck.
