Converter doesn't support Xen VMs. You may want to look at http://communities.vmware.com/message/1988062#1988062 - it is the same error and looks like there is a success story if you switch to basic kernel and convert the VM.
look this kb, may can help http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=100529...
This KB article is about converting Windows guests, however this is not the case here...
