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.
