Greg, Easiest way I've found to deploy to VM's is to build a single one from scratch with the partition structure and packages you want, suck down an image to your imageserver, and then PXE boot how every many remaining VM's you'd like to deploy them too.
The other option (outside of Systemimager) is to just copy the /vmfs/storage1/$VMNAME1 contents to a new $VMNAME2 directory and vi the underlying files changing any instance of $VMNAME1 to $VMNAME2. This is far more manual, but provides an exact duplicate (so make sure you don't start them both simultaneously until you've changed hostname and IP!) Can I ask what partitioning issues you're having in particular once you've defined the VM?
