vmrun command syntax for moving things between W10 host and RHEL 6.9 guest

vmrun is behaving perfectly for things like starting and stopping the guest, and it creates shared folders.

Sort of.

With a command like:

vmrun -T ws addSharedFolder <path to vm> d:\offload /var/log/audit/offload

I see claims of success, but files placed in one don't show in the other.

vmrun -T ws copyfilefromguesttohost <path to vm> /var/log/audit/offload/somereport d:\offload

fails with an error of incorrect file type.

Reinstalling VMware tools this morning didn't change anything.

What am I missing?
