Well, looks like others have had issues here. see http://www.virtualbox.de/ticket/3181 for one.

HOWEVER.... the fix seems to want the directory HardDisks which doesnt exist on my file path.

hmm.... Am I being thick:?: Prob! :shock:

Solved - filepath issue

Ive solved this for me..

I need to run the command from the VirtualBox directory, and specify "VDI/<vdi name>"

It seems I can't run from VirtualBox/VDI directory.

What am I missing here?

I can confirm this for Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 (2.6.24-23-generic).
Running VirtualBox version 2.1.4, installed from the precompiled AMD64 debian package.

VBoxManage clonevdi .VirtualBox/VDI/XP4.vdi .VirtualBox/VDI/test.vdi
...

The workaround described above seems to work, though:

VBoxManage clonevdi VDI/XP4.vdi VDI/test.vdi
...
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%
