Now I have VC 4 + ESX 3.5, run GetVirtualDiskFiles from vijava220090625 with error in statement of

Task task = dsBrowser.searchDatastoreSubFolders_Task("", searchSpec);

and has following error messages :

The error seems to state something regarding permissions, in vSphere 4.0, there's been newly added permissions to both the datastores and networking. I'm wondering if you're going as a privileged user?
