[lxc-users] Unable to boot unprivileged container

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64
Kernel: Host-Supplied 3.14.1
Provider: Linode
Host Virtualization: Xen Paravirtualized
LXC Version: 1.0.3-0ubuntu3

When I attempt to boot an unprivileged container I get the error
"lxc_container: command get_cgroup failed to receive response".  This
appears to be due to missing cgroup however it is mounted and is using
cgmanager as was recently changed (output seen later).  For
troubleshooting I switched to the distribution supplied kernel (host
supports pv-grub) and it does the same thing.  Host has apparmor
disabled and when I was running the distribution kernel I verified
that apparmor was enabled and running so in this case it made no
difference.

I was able to run a privileged container even with the host-supplied
kernel however this won't meet my individual requirements.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
