You may want to do it this way. (From the manual.)

8.14 VBoxManage clonehd
This command duplicates a registered virtual hard disk image to a
new image file with a new unique identifier (UUID). The new image
can be transferred to another host system or imported into
VirtualBox again using the Virtual Disk Manager; see chapter
3.5, The Virtual Disk Manager, page 42 and chapter 5.3, Cloning disk
images, page 74.
