qemu-img rebase error message mentions wrong file name

While doing 'qemu-img rebase' for linking to a different backing file, if the old backing file does not exist, the command fails. During this failure, the error message shown is misleading.
e.g. qemu-img rebase -b <backing_file> <filename> throws error saying "Could not open <filename>"
Ideally it should "Could not open <old_backing_file>"
