VBoxManage error without a message

I am trying to set the bios system time offset using the following command...

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" modifyvm "Windows 8" --biossystemtimeoffset -10*24*60*60*1000
However, when I run this command the output is:

Code: Select all

Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 4.2.6
(C) 2005-2012 Oracle Corporation
All rights reserved.

Usage:

VBoxManage modifyvm         <uuid|name>
                            [--name <name>]
                            [--groups <group>, ...]
//trimmed for brevity//
                            [--autostart-enabled on|off]
                            [--autostart-delay <seconds>]

VBoxManage.exe: error:
D:\Virtual Machines\Windows 8>
That's it! There is no error message provided. Just the statement that there was an error. I'm stuck trying to make this work.

have you tried giving the final number instead of doing the calculation there?

Thanks. That works.
