Cant get vmware player to start VM headless/nogui

So, I have a test box running CentOS 6.x and VMwareplayer.  I was able to set up a test VM (Windows Server 2012) in order to emulate a production box, I did this through the gui. I'd like to be able to start/stop/whatever this VM via the command line without the gui, however I'm not having any luck.

When I type:

vmrun -T player start "MyVM.vmx" nogui

I get:

Error:  The operation was canceled

Anybody know what could be causing this, or where I can get a more meaningful error message as this doesn't really tell me anything?
