Help with XML for Using ReconfigVM_Task to resize virtual disk

I'm trying to use ReconfigVM_Task to resize the virtual disk on a VM.

This is the XML I have:

<ReconfigVM_Task xmlns=\"urn:vim25\">

<_this type=\"VirtualMachine\">{$vm_id}</_this>

<spec>

<deviceChange>

<device>

<key>2000</key>

<controllerKey>1000</controllerKey>

<unitNumber>0</unitNumber>

<capacityInKB>30000000</capacityInKB>

</device>

<operation>edit</operation>

</deviceChange>

</spec>

</ReconfigVM_Task>

It returns success but nothing happens?

What am I missing?

I tried this too... Still no luck. The task returns success - but Drive is not expanded.

<deviceChange>

<device>

<key>2000</key>

<backing>

<fileName>[datastore1] Ubuntu 9.10 Server 2/Ubuntu 9.10 Server 2.vmdk</fileName>

<datastore>datastore-43</datastore>

<diskMode>persistent</diskMode>

<split>false</split>

<writeThrough>false</writeThrough>

<thinProvisioned>true</thinProvisioned>

<uuid>6000C29d-b9ef-f719-e960-102596f755a1</uuid>

</backing>

<unitNumber>0</unitNumber>

<controllerKey>1000</controllerKey>

<deviceInfo>
