Really the error you are getting is "Can't create connection". From everything that we have been able to find this is caused by a bug in VDDK 6.0. You can verify this by running vmware-vdiskmanager.exe (in the VDDK bin directory) - no matter what you do you will always get this error. We have reported this to VMware and are trying to get them to fix this. The only solution they have proposed so far is to use VDDK 5.5.4.

Please let us know if you run into any issues with VDDK 5.5.4.
