geob,

top line of that file states something else for the version of converter in use:

Log for VMware Converter Agent, pid=1892, version=3.0.2u1, build=build-62456, option=Release, section=2

Failed to open file %s is about attempting to open the VMDK file to copy data into.

VMFolder = clone-essapd020-w085/clone-essapd020-w085.vmdk

ESX Server: essvmp020-006.emrcorp.local:902

Wherever converter is running from can't do one of the following:

*Resolve the ESX host name (essvmp020-006.emrcorp.local)

*There is a NAT between the ESX host and the source system

*There is a port blockage on TCP 902

Those are the most common problems.

Regards,
