After moving Snapshot folder loacion, ghetto not backing up device.

I use Ghetto VBC to backup some VMs on a HOST and it's been working fine for a long time. Due to space requirements I changed  a VM on this HOST ( and will do for other VMs ) the location of where any snap shots are held. I edited the devices VMX file adding the lines:

workingDir = "new_path_location"

snapshot.redoNotWithParent = "true"

I re-registered the VM, powered it back on tested it and great, any new snap shots are then put in the new location I created for them on a different Data Store.

Problem I have now is that when this device backs up using the Ghetto script I get this error for this device:

2016-03-16 06:36:34 -- info: Initiate backup for helpdesk

2016-03-16 06:36:34 -- info: Creating Snapshot "ghettoVCB-snapshot-2016-03-16" for helpdesk

2016-03-16 06:37:29 -- info: ERROR: Unable to backup helpdesk due to error in VMDK backup!


Can anyone point me in the correct direction to getting this resolved ?
