I shut down the VM, actually the Workstation window entirely, VM was already powered down. I moved the entire Virtual Machine directory locally (via a copy). I did a File -> Open. I navigated to and selected the local version of the VM file. It asked me if it moved and I said yes. After it was done, I did a File - > Export OVF and it failed again with the same error (Reason - Read beyond end of object) but this time referencing the local path.
