Re: The selected file is not a valid virtual disk file

* There's no errors on host file system itself.

* The vmware.log file has some interesting entries, like this:

Jul 17 16:46:26.204: vmx| DISKLIB-FLAT  : "/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/Request Tracker (Ubuntu Server)/Request Tracker (Ubuntu Server)-f001.vmdk" : failed to open (15): Size of extent in descriptor file larger than real size.

* There are not .lck files or folders.

* Here is a list of the files on the VM's folder:
