I ended up installing Cinder anyway, and now I can get at both instances_and_volumes and images_and_snapshots. I didn't want to have to install something I'm not planning on using, but it was the only way I could think of to get past the sticking point.

The reason I'm not using Cinder is that I created a 6TB LVM volume from two 3TB drives on my server long before I started testing OpenStack, and resizing it now would be a real pain. I don't have easy physical access to the machine itself, so making changes that big is dangerous at best. This whole OpenStack install is for a proof-of-concept anyway, so I can live without Cinder. Or at least, I thought I could :)
