ERROR: failed to locate and extract VM_ID for

I am trying to get ghettoVCB running on my VMware ESXi 4.0.0 build-164009 host.

Everytime I try to run it I get "info: ERROR: failed to locate and extract VM_ID for" for all the lines in the .vmx file and then it stops.

logfile:

I have been searching but there is not much info about this error and I'm a bit af a beginner when it comes to scripting on linux.
