I was trying to capture Vista image using the instructions for creating a windows base image and got the error below. Has anyone ever seen this before, usually there is some output which more specifically highlights the problem, but not in this case. I have gotten permission denied in the past, but I fixed that by adding the public keys of the management node and the vcl service and I am able to ssh from the command line into the ESX server without having to enter a password. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
