VCenter API Guest User Unable Log in on Mac.

I am having issues running programs remotely on our mac vm's.  It works find on the windows vm's.

In fact any action that requires a guest user is failing.

The error I get is:

ERROR: Client received SOAP Fault from server: Failed to authenticate with the guest operating system using the supplied credentials. Please see the server log to find more detail regarding exact cause of the failure.

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.fault.ServerSOAPFaultException: Client received SOAP Fault from server: Failed to authenticate with the guest operating system using the supplied credentials. Please see the server log to find more detail regarding exact cause of the failure.

from vmware-vmsvc.log

I can log onto the box with the same user and password.
