Mhh, this is a vmware problem. Can you check if the files are
readonly? Another problem might be that you unpacked it as a different
user and or in a directory where the current user does not have write
permissions. If you have a FAT partition you might want to try copying
the image over there.

The VMWare image is mostly meant for Windows users, so it does work in
most cases. Googling for the error message did not reveal anything
current.
So: What VMWare release are you running? Can you get any other image
(in case you have one) to run?
Cheers,
Michael
