VM import fails - Task failed: P2VError UNKNOWN_METHOD_FAULT(vim.fault.CannotAccessFile)

Anyone see this error during the import of a .vmx file into our ESX 3.5 server? I've run the converter before with no issues.

Task failed: P2VError UNKNOWN_METHOD_FAULT(vim.fault.CannotAccessFile)

either power off the VM and then try. Or keep the machine powered on and treat it like a physical machine (point to it by IP or install directly onto the VM and use physical->this_local_machine)
