When I run VBoxManage clonehd on my Vista 64 host, I get a message that

missing something here? Reversing the parameters doesn’t work... For
some reason it doesn’t pick up the target hard disk name (which IS
different...)
This is what I get. What have I screwed up?
You've just bumped into a quirk with relative filename handling in the
VirtualBox API. It's on the todo list to finally squash that bug. The
workaround is to pass absolute filenames to that command. If that
doesn't help, use the uuid for the source hard disk instead. And you
most likely also want to register the cloned image, so add --remember as
well.
