I cloned a Windows XP vdi by using the command VBoxManage clonevdi <filename1> <filename2> and it performed the command fine but when I try to import the clone (filename2) into another VirtualBox installation on another disk it gives me the following error output.
Assertion failed [mid && children().size() == 0]
at '/home/vbox/vbox-1.5.0/src/VBox/Main//HardDisklmpl.cpp' (536) in
virtual nsresult HardDisk::trySetRegistered(PRBool).

I found that most of my problems occurred because when the .vdi was cloned to the other partition it went over there as being owned by root, not by my username. When I changed the owner and group I did not get the error.
Also I did not understand that it had to be moved to the VDI directory under my user account. I thought it could be located anywhere on the new partition and would work. I'm still having trouble between 'new' and 'existing' in running the wizard but that's just me.
