Error trying to virtualize disk using vCenter Converter

I'm trying to virtualize a live running Linux drive (CentOS 6). I'm using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone, with ESXi 5.1. After running for about an hour, the task consistently fails with the following error message:

FAILED: A general system error occurred: Error returned by expat parser:

Any help overcoming this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks
