Fusion 1.1.3 Introduced a bug with the VMDK file?

Since upgrading to version 1.1.3 my VMs have been experiencing a problem at random times. After shutting down a working VM, at some point something happens to make Fusion think the VMDK file is missing. However, inspecting the package contents, it is indeed there. By copying it out of the package and then copying it back, I have be able to get it to work again several times. However, now I have a VM for which that little trick no longer works. What is going on with 1.1.3 and how can I get my VM back? Thanks.

Permissions are correct. I was able to recover the machine but I don't fully understand what happened. I was not able to use the snapshot as it got the same error. However, I was able to edit the VMX file and change to a different image. At that point it got a different error that was fixed by discarding the snapshot. After that the VM came up fine.
