fusion 3 running in 32 bit mode only??????

I have tried a clean install, I have booted into snow leopard 64 bit kernel, I have tried 32 bit kernal, i have also tried to do an upgrade from version 2 to version 3.

I have a new MBP, and fusion is only running in 32 bit, why is this?

see profiler details...

The UI handles the settings and the like, it is not processor intensive. The VMware engine, vmware-vmx when you show all processes, is 64-bit native and it does all the heavy lifting and graphics rendering. In fact, we are running in 64-bit mode on all 64-bit Macs regardless of the kernel chosen.
