Hello all,
I am having an issue with deploying an OVF that was exported from VirtualBox. Made sure the steps were followed in this article:
http://www.ctrip.ufl.edu/howto-convert-virtualbox-to-vmware
In short...
- Export as 0.9 version OVF from VirtualBox
- Edit the OVF file and fix the sections noted in the link
- Run the VMWare ovftool [version 2.0.1] against it to convert to vmx or just import direct to ESX host
I die in step three of the list above. 
ESX Import Attempt:
C:\PROGRA~1\VMware\VMWARE~2>ovftool.exe --lax -ds=DataStore_CLST01_OS_1 -nw="VLA
N 5 - Access" xxxxx-WUI-1.0.ovf vi://root:xxxxx@esx_server/

Convert to VMX Attempt:
