 Rich: Thanks for the ESXi 4.1.0 and vSphere Client 4.1.0 version info.
 
 Fam: Do you have any suggestions how to debug the Error uploading
 file path/to/image.vmdk to server.  Not a supported disk format
 (sparse VMDK version too old) issue?  Ideally qemu-img would create
 images that work with current VMware tools by default.
