I tried to clone a disk as follows:

$ VBoxManage clonehd Knoppix-6.4.4.vmdk Knoppix-clone.vdi --format VDI 
--variant Fixed
VBoxManage: error: Cannot register the hard disk 
'/sdb3/home/jd/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/Knoppix-6.4.4.vmdk' 
{609a6483-375a-4c93-881c-62007cc727d6} because a hard disk 
'/home/jd/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/Knoppix-6.4.4.vmdk' with UUID 
{609a6483-375a-4c93-881c-62007cc727d6} already exists
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057), 
component VirtualBox, interface IVirtualBox, callee nsISupports
Context: "OpenMedium(Bstr(pszFilenameOrUuid).raw(), enmDevType, 
AccessMode_ReadWrite, pMedium.asOutParam())" at line 209 of file 
VBoxManageDisk.cpp


What do I need to do in order to be able to clone a 16GB vmdk file to a 
16gb vdi fixed file?
