I moved
the script with the necessary changes in one other location and
infrastructure of another ESX 3.5 Update 4, but the script gives me the
following error. What can it be?

Usage:
vcbMounter -h <url> -u <username> <operation> [<verbosi
ty>]
+ <url> := <hostname>+
+ <operation> := <mount_op> | <file_umount_op> | <auto_umount_op>+
+ <verbosity> := -L (0-6)+
+ <mode> := -m "san"|"nbd"|"nbdssl"|"hotadd"+
+ <mount_op> := -a <VM> <mountPoint> [<datastores>]+
+ <file_umount_op> := -d <VM> <SsId> <mountPoint>+
+ <auto_umount_op> := -U <mountpoint_dir>+
+ <VM> := <moref>|<uuid>|<ipaddr>|<...> +
+ (See VM Backup guide for complete list of search+
+ criteria.)+
+ <mountPoint> := -r <dir>+
+ <flavor> := <fullvm_flavor>|<file_flavor>+
+ <datastores> := -C <datastore_catalog_file>+
+ <SsId> := -n "ssid:"<Sdk-MoRef>+
+ <fullvm_flavor> := -t "fullvm" +
+ <file_flavor> := -t "file"+
+ <export-flags> := -M (0|1) -F (0|1)+
If no password is specified on the command line, you will be prompted for one.
Export Flags:
+ -M: If set, the disk is exported into a single (monolithic) file.+
+ When turned off (default), the disk is split into multiple 2GB files.+
+ -F: If set, the disk is exported as "flat" disk, with no optimizations.+
+ When turned off (default), the exported disk files will be more compact as+
+ unused space in the disk image is not included in the exported file.+
Examples:
+) Do a full VM style backup of vm "foo.bar.com" across the SAN,
+ talk to ESX/VC host "wisdom.bar.com" as user "vc" with+
+ password "foobar". - Export will go to "d:\backups":+
+ vcbMounter -h wisdom.bar.com -u vc -p foobar -a ipaddr:foo.bar.com \+
+ -r d:\backups\foo-fullVM -t fullvm+
+ Full VM backups export an entire virtual machine into a set of+
+ files within a directory. Backing up this file set allows for the+
+ entire virtual machine to be restored later on.+
+) Do an automatic unmount of the export just created:
+ vcbMounter -h wisdom.bar.com -u vc -p foobar \+
+ -U d:\backups\foo-fullVM+
+ An automatic unmount will work for both file-level and full VM mounts.+
+ (A full VM unmount operation just has to delete the exported files.)+
