I'm playing with the instructions here:-
http://howtoforge.com/vboxheadless-running-virtual-machines-with-virtualbox-2.0-on-a-headless-ubuntu-8.04-server

I get up to this:-
VBoxManage registerimage dvd /home/ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso
VBoxManage modifyvm "Ubuntu 8.04 Server" -dvd /home/ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso

And on the modifyvm I'm getting a failure. Below is the transcript. I've carefully gone over this and the UserManual clearly says: /specify either the UUID or the filename of an image file that you have registered with VBoxManage registerimage

/Clearly I've done registerimage and it appears the modifyvm afterward should work...? Or am I misunderstanding something?
