Couple updates...
1) Removing the 3 ssh parameters seemed to fix the issue. They were:
"ssh_disable_agent": true,
"ssh_host": "localhost",
"ssh_port": "2022",
2) The shell script section cannot execute scripts in bash, despite the
#!/bin/bash header. I've implemented a work-around to make this
shell-friendly.
3) The VirtualBox job exports as an ovf, I need this to be a single file
ova export. Will open separate ticket.
Thanks for the assist!
