Hi I'm trying to create a virtual hard drive using the Python API. 

I can successully create the IMedium object using IVirtualBox::createHardDisk() 
but then when I try to call createBaseStorage() on that object, I can an error 
saying "Error in module Medium (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER)" but I do not get any 
further details on what the problem is. 


According to the SDK documentation, the only error for this function should be 
if the medium format is not supported by my system ("The variant of storage 
creation operation is not supported."), but I am just trying to create a VDI 
disk, and when I list the HDD backends using VBoxManage, it is definitely 
supported. The path I'm trying to create the virtual disk under is also 
accessible and writable.

What else can the problem be? I do not seem to be able to dig deeper into this. 
I'm using the MediumVariant_Standard variant, so there is nothing special about 
this either.


Any pointers would be really appreciated.
