OK sorry guys false alarm, after I found this
http://www.thinkvirt.com/?q=node/181
and updated the metadata to vmware_ostype=windows7Server64Guest that
seems to have resolved the current issue and allowed it to spawn.
Thanks.

nova refuses to boot the image however. The log is quite long so I've
attached it below.
Running Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, everything is running Grizzly from the
Ubuntu Cloud Archive except nova-computes
/usr/share/pyshared/nova/virt/vmwareapi which is running from VMware
provided source.
