Did the hgfs module compile on both the host & guest?
KevinG,
Thxs for your reply.
Host: I had no problems. I have also a VM with PClinuxOS and I have not have any problems in seen the share folder under hgfs, so the host is OK.
Fedora 7 guest. Here is the problem The module did not compile
This is what I have:
\[tdec@localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.22.4-65.fc7
\[tdec@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa --queryformat %\{NAME}-%\{VERSION}-%\{ARCH}
n | grep kernel | sort
kernel-2.6.21-i686
kernel-2.6.22.4-i686
kernel-devel-2.6.22.4-i686
kernel-headers-2.6.22.4-i386
\[tdec@localhost ~]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20070502 (Red Hat 4.1.2-12)
TIA

I get exactly the same error with a Debian 4 (2.6.22 kernel) guest. I compiled the kernel and headers myself, from the same sources, so they MUST fit.
The reason I decided to make my own kernel was... this error. I had it also with normal kernel and headers from the Debian repository.
My guess is there is something wrong with the 'tools'.
This solved all my VMware 6.0 'tools' problems with my Debian 2.6.22-4 guest kernel:

Extract (and replace) the contents to your vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source directory. If gcc is ok with your headers the tools compile fine.

And if you just updated to workstation 6.0.1 and installed the new tools this is what you need with kernel 2.6.22:
http://fun.poosan.net/sawa/file/2.6.22-vmhgfs-55017.tar.bz2
(This is just the code for vmhgfs. The vmxnet module compiles fine.)
