Error creating VM using VBoxManage I'm followng Oracles instructions on how to create and manage a vm through VB's CLI. when I run VBoxManage createvm --name Debian_64 --ostype Debian_64 --register I get the following error VBoxManage: error: Could not create a directory '/Users/cbeltrao/VirtualBox VMs/Debian_64' to save the settings file (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine, callee nsISupports VBoxManage: error: Context: "SaveSettings()" at line 276 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp

FIX: My VirtualBox VMs folder was a symlink. I am not sure wether it was a broken link or if the virtualbox just couldnt handle the fact that the fodler was a symlink. But I deleted theVirtualBox VMs folder, created a new folder an now it works.
