can not successfully mount

Hello all,

We got an annoying problem and need your help. We created four virtual machines(one linux, three WindowsXP). It always failed to mount WindowsXP from linux...

We use the commands below as root:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware-vix-disklib/lib64

vmware-mount -v "inventoryPath" -h "hostname" -u "username" -F "password" /home/guest/folder

we always got the message as follows:

The disk contains an unclear file system (0, 1).

The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing.

then, it showed that the WindowsXP had been mounted when we list all mounted disks. But we can not access to it and can not even unmount  it.

Only a few time that we solved this problem by killing the relevant process(vmware-mount ...) in linux, and check the disk in windows and clean the recycle bin. With some luck we could successfully mount WindowsXP after that, but most of time we still failed by doing these.

Can someone help us? Thanks in advance.
