Cannot update grub configurations on host. 3.5-4.0 update

Update manager in virutal center gives me the above message.

/var/log/grububdate.log has:

Tue Apr 27 10:29:40 2010: info: starting --

in it. I can't find anything from google on any of the error messages showing up. Can I really be the first person to ever see this?
