svmotion error

Any idea why I am getting this error when doing a svmotion?

C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows> g

et-vm tools | move-vm -Datastore (Get-Datastore "ESX LUN 9")

Move-VM : 11/10/2009 10:01:21 AM Move-VM 1ECB67CC-8F7E-4912-8A6B-52D6DF6C

6A20 The operation for the entity vm-1385 failed with the following message:

"A general system error occurred: failed to copy VM config to VMotion dest (vi

m.fault.InvalidDeviceBacking)"

At line:1 char:23

+ get-vm tools | move-vm <<<< -Datastore (Get-Datastore "ESX LUN 9")

Does it work when using the GUI to perform the VMotion?

If it's a PowerCLI specific error, you might have more luck posting in the PowerCLI forums.
