Hi Stuart, If it is like Parallels, the issue may well be the permissions set on the VM file(s)
I know, for me, I had a VM created by one user and wanted it to be usable by two users - I did some googling and found articles in the Parallels forums which let me sort it out by changing permissions using Terminal -after which it worked fine - but cloning the machine didn't inherit the privileges of the original - so you had to do it again for the clone. The permissions changes were different depending whether you wanted it accessible to specific users (which I did) or open to any user (which would include "Guest" if you have it enabled). Obviously exact steps/files would be different with Fusion - but I suspect the principle is the same. I was working with existing VMs - if you are starting from scratch you MAY be able to get around it by specifying a shared folder for Fusion to use for the VMs (don't know, but worth a try).
