VMwareService.exe reports "Total guest info exceeds maximum allocated space"

Under ESX 3.0 I set a guest info variable called my_state for a VM using the Perl SDK. When i log onto the VM and read the value using

vmwareservice.exe --cmd "info-get guestinfo.my_state"

it gives back the correct value:

SessionID=ddsmithClientIP=10.20.13.12Habitat=VdeskClientName=10.20.13.12VDI=+UserAgent=Mozilla/4.0

When i try and write a new value inside the VM using:

vmwareservice.exe --cmd "info-set guestinfo.my_state logoff"

It gives back the error:

Total guest info exceeds maximum allocated space

I haven't been able to find any related info on the internet for this error so any help would be greatly appreciated. It seems particularly odd since the new value being assigned is a shorter string than the current one.
