Thanks I noticed that as well. Switched to creating a SATA controller and attaching drives to it.
The metadata problem may have been part of my headache. After trying Karl's examples and them working out of the box, I deleted the box in virtualbox and deleted my .vagrant directory as well. Then things started to work more correctly... Discovered a typo in my "Unless file.exists" line ( must include the path, duh) See my response to Karl for the correct Vagrantfile.
