I get this too. It appears to be a bug in the startup script. If I run /etc/init.d/vmware start and everything comes up. If I run the startup script again I get a some failed messages because vmware was already started. The startup script places an empty file in /etc/vmware named not_configured if the startup script fails for any reason. Being already started doesn't seem like a good reason to me. Anyway, all I had to do is remove /etc/vmware/not_configured and all is golden.
