Using VBoxManage to import is explained here. http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.h ... age-import
However the file extension of vdi will not exist in the file name.
Perhaps import is not what you really want and if so you need to use VBoxManage to create the new guest instead and that is explained here:
