ESX 4.1 fails to deploy ova using ovftool and self-signed appliance

Environment:

- ovftool 2.0.1 (build-260188)

-  ESXi 4.0.0 (244038)

-  ESXi 4.1.0 (260247)

I'm creating an OVA using ovftool from an appliance that's turned off.  It's installed on the ESX 4.1 machine.

When I create the appliance using a self-signed certificate, it deploys correctly on ESX 4.0.

However, the same appliance fails to deploy on the ESX 4.1 device.

I get the following error at 99%:

Failed to deploy OVF package: The request was aborted: The request was canceled.

Any ideas?

My problem is solved by the following KB article ( http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=103286...)

Thanks to J8kel (http://communities.vmware.com/people/J8kel) for pointing me in the right direction.
