Josh, 
Thanks.  Earlier today I saw your message to Luckmore Chirongo suggesting that 
he comment out three lines (monitor.virtual_mmu, monitor.virtual_exec, and 
vhv.enable) in VMware.pm.  I just did the same thing and it seems to have also 
resolved the problem I was having.  Thanks again! 

-Bill

Bill,

It sounds like it thinks it has copied over the files but somehow hasn't 
successfully done so.  Can you send the contents of vcld.log for a reservation 
that fails?  To get just the contents for a single reservation, you can find 
the request id either on the Reservations page (if you have the "view debug 
information" additional user permission) or on the dashboard.  Then, run

grep <request id> /var/log/vcld.log

on the management node, replacing <request id> with the actual id.

We can then have a look through the log to see if we can help more.

Josh
