VSphere CLI - Unable to clone virtual disk : A specified parameter was not correct: dc

Hello all. I am having issue being able to clone an uploaded VMDK. I have the VCLI downloaded on a Windows laptop and am running the commands through Strawberry PERL. My command looks like the following: 

vmkfstools.pl --server xx.xxx.xx.x --vihost xxxxxxx.xx.xxx --username xxxxxxx --password xxxxxxxxxxxx -i /vmfs/volumes/Datastore Name/NutanixDisks/PVM0325.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/Datastore Name/NutanixDisks/PVM0325Clone.vmdk

I get the following error message: 

Unable to clone virtual disk : A specified parameter was not correct: dc

I cannot determine what the cause of the error is, and what DC means in this scenario. I cannot find any documentation on this error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

After running VMWorkstation-VDiskmanager.exe on my VMDK file, I do see a 55 at offset 0001f0 on the flat file. Uploading that now.
