You could just connect with the vSphere Client, browse the datastore and
download the whole directory to your local machine, then do whatever you've
got to do. It's point and click and not cool-guy-command-line

Generally in that case you want to do something like make a nfs share
one of the hosts can see and let the tools move the files for you.
The cli has some downsides to it that you don't really ever want to do
file operations in and out using it if you can help it.

Similar issues with other programs have (in windows) required a reboot.
Otherwise, try using a different VMware guest image, then shut it down.
Then you might be able to get the backup of the first VMware guest image.

Does vCenter allow you to clone a guest? If so, try that way.

Trying to make a tar backup of a VMware guest. I've done this several
times before. Shut down the guest, login to the esxi server via ssh and
tar up the guest directories.
Except this time its barking at me that files are in use! lsof shows
all manner of stuff! WTF?? Off no long
