It would really be best to not use snapshots as a permanent items. For a more permanent solution use templates. Snapshots should be something that you use, and then revert or delete.

What are those snapshots? Are they from VCB or others you had existing prior to running VCB?

They are from snapshots made in the gui as a couple worked after I wen
into the VI client deleted all snapshot then it worked. Do you know if
this behavior is by design or a bug?
there are no VCB snapshots thats the weird part they are all vic snapshots that I would like to keep if possible.
here is what I have:
ls

Are you sure there is no VCB snapshot from a previous mount, perhaps that was never unmounted? Could be an orphan as well...
