Can you get vmware.log from the naos helper virtual machine (see and )? This should help figure out why the process isn't finishing (it should take a few minutes, and certainly not hours).
Another thing to try is to quit Fusion, delete the /Users/$/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/ (unless you've added virtual disks, this shouldn't contain any data), and try again.
