Fusion 3.0 Import Win7 x64 Boot Camp Partition Problems

Here's my progression of installation.

Snow Leopard on Mac - > Fusion 2.0(latest) - > Windows 7 Boot Camp Partition running Fusion (Not native VM) -> Fusion 3.0 Beta -> Fusion 3.0 RC -> Fusion 3.0

I got a larger HD so I created an Image and restored using CCC for mac partition and WinClone for Win7 Partition. Upgrade went successful.

Now, I am wanting to move my Boot Camp Partition to a native VM image so I am using the 'Import' Option for my Boot Camp Partition. After running the Import process (which takes a very long time), I'm getting the following error:

"vmware importer is unable to prepare your virtual machine to run under vmware fusion"

I've searched and searched but cannot find any help out there for this situation or where to even begin. Any ideas?

Just more info (not that it matters). Import goes on for 4 hours and then I get this:

VMware Importer is unable to prepare your virtual machine to run under VMware Fusion.

The virtual machine cannot be imported.
