Config error leads to unexpected problems during the duplication of a virtual machine

I created a virtual of Mac OS X Server machine using Fusion 3 in Mac OS X Server.

I wanted to copy the virtual machine and get two turn, so I have it duplicated via the Finder. I started copying, he said I had copied, and it worked very well. I changed some settings and went to open original. He complained that the disk was in use!

I checked the config via a Show Package Contents and found that the scsi0.0.fileName had the FULL path to the file hard instead of a local path, so that both machines have tried to use the original copy of the disc, even if there is a second copy!

By changing the path pointing to 'disk.vmdk' instead of ' / users/admin/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/disk.vmwarevm/disk.vmdk ' copies now work and do not use each and other records.

Perhaps, this should be filed as a bug? I don't know how to do this; or maybe VMWare Fusion needs a button "double VM".

I used the wizard of "insert the disc and install" VMWare to create the virtual machine, if that helps.

Yes, it is fine and should work; the behavior you're seeing is a bug. Thanks for reporting it! I filed PR 650449 to follow up on this matter.
