When you check and uncheck the make private box you are changing the contents of two files: /etc/vmware/vm-list and /etc/vmware/vm-list-private. I believe the /etc/vmware/vm-list-private specifies the userids that are allowed to access the vm. Hacking that file might have fixed the problem (or it may have rendered the vm completely unusable).
