John,

Looks like the vmdk file is just a descriptor file. The real image may already be raw: root.hdd

# Extent description
RW 3145728 FLAT "root.hdd" 0

You might need to specify the -f option, I know there's an older qemu-img version on Fedora 8 that does not autodetect the file format.

qemu-img -f file.vmdk

No good:

$ qemu-img convert -f vmdk root.vmdk -O raw a.raw
qemu-img: Could not open 'root.vmdk'

vmdk is:

$ cat root.vmdk # Disk DescriptorFile
version=1
CID=ab3d47b2
parentCID=ffffffff
createType="twoGbMaxExtentFlat"
