I think it's much much easier to just copy the vdi and then run the
following command:

VBoxManage internalcommands setvdiuuid newfile.vdi
example:

$ VBoxManage internalcommands setvdiuuid /store/vdi/wxptst.vdi

UUID changed to: f245bbe5-9609-49f4-b72f-9d854949d3f3

Works like a charm and is very safe ;-)
