Make sure the vdi doesn't belong to any VM already.  You can use the
VBoxManage registervm and VBoxManage unregistervm commands to
register/unregister.

From the manual:

The registervm command allows you to import a virtual machine definition in
an
XML file into VirtualBox. There are some restrictions here: the machine must
not
conflict with one already registered in VirtualBox and it may not have any
hard or
removable disks attached. It is advisable to place the definition file in the
machines
folder before registering it.

So you need to unregister the VM and delete the old one, then use the
VBoxManage registervm command to register the new XML file that came with it
and then add the vdi manually. This is theory though but I'd try it anyway.

Now they have two problems.
