Some notes

The 7z command has '-o"text"', does it require a space?

You might try single quotes around the vmx files. From the first error it appears to be dropping a parameter. Further debugging could be done with...

Code:

vmEngland="/home/administrator/vmware/Virtual Machines/VMs/England"
rmdir -p "$vmEngland"
mkdir "$vmEngland"
vmxorig="/home/administrator/vmware/Virtual Machines/VMs/XPVM/Windows XP Pro.vmx"
vmxclone="$vmEngland/pc1/pc1.vmx"
if [ ! -e "$vmxorig" ]; then
  echo "Error: can't find \"$vmxorig\" "
  exit 1
fi
# Should we test that the clone exists before overwriting? 
# Probably not because the directory was removed and recreated.
if [ -e "$vmxclone" ]; then
  echo "Warning: clone exists \"$vmxclone\" "
  read -p "Continue to overwrite? [n] or y> " ans
  if [ "${ans:0:1}" != "y" ]; then
    exit 2
  fi
  rm "$vmxclone"
fi
# This should FAIL unless the clone command can create 'pc1' path for 'pc1/pc1.vmx'.
# Lets make the pc1 directory..
mkdir -p "$vmEngland/pc1/"
/usr/bin/vmrun -T ws clone "$vmxorig" "$vmxclone" linked
if [ ! -e "$vmxclone" ]; then
  echo "Error: can't find \"$vmxclone\" "
  exit 3
fi
rpl "Clone of Windows XP Pro" "pc1" "$vmxclone"
if [ ! -e "$vmxclone" ]; then
  echo "Error: can't find \"$vmxclone\" "
  exit 4
fi
# You'll probably need to create pc2/ and pc3/ directories also.
vmxclone="$vmEngland/pc2/pc2.vmx"
mkdir -p "$vmEngland/pc2/"
# Repeat above script. This could be a lot better as a loop.
# Check a single section to see if I found the problem and 
# then let me know if you want a loop.

You would also need to check what happened to the leading '/' on the path for pc1.vmx. Did the 'rpl' script remove it?

VMX(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    VMX(4)

NAME

     vmx -- VMware VMXNET3 Virtual Interface Controller device

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device vmx

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_vmx_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The vmx driver provides support for the VMXNET3 virtual NIC available in virtual machines by VMware.  It appears as a simple Ethernet device
     but is actually a virtual network interface to the underlying host operating system.

     This driver supports the VMXNET3 driver protocol, as an alternative to the emulated pcn(4), em(4) interfaces also available in the VMware
     environment.  The vmx driver is optimized for the virtual machine, it can provide advanced capabilities depending on the underlying host
     operating system and the physical network interface controller of the host.  The vmx driver supports features like multiqueue support, IPv6
     checksum offloading, MSI/MSI-X support and hardware VLAN tagging in VMware's VLAN Guest Tagging (VGT) mode.

     The vmx driver supports VMXNET3 VMware virtual NICs provided by the virtual machine hardware version 7 or newer, as provided by the following
     products:

	   o   VMware ESX/ESXi 4.0 and newer
	   o   VMware Server 2.0 and newer
	   o   VMware Workstation 6.5 and newer
	   o   VMware Fusion 2.0 and newer

     For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

MULTIPLE QUEUES

     The vmx driver supports multiple transmit and receive queues.  Multiple queues are only supported by certain VMware products, such as ESXi.
     The number of queues allocated depends on the presence of MSI-X, the number of configured CPUs, and the tunables listed below.  FreeBSD does
     not enable MSI-X support on VMware by default.  The hw.pci.honor_msi_blacklist tunable must be disabled to enable MSI-X support.

LOADER TUNABLES

     Tunables can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in loader.conf(5).

     hw.vmx.txnqueue

     hw.vmx.X.txnqueue
	     Maximum number of transmit queues allocated by default by the driver.  The default value is 8.  The maximum supported by the VMXNET3
	     virtual NIC is 8.

     hw.vmx.rxnqueue

     hw.vmx.X.rxnqueue
	     Maximum number of receive queues allocated by default by the driver.  The default value is 8.  The maximum supported by the VMXNET3
	     virtual NIC is 16.

     hw.vmx.txndesc

     hw.vmx.X.txndesc

	     Number of transmit descriptors allocated by the driver.  The default value is 512.  The value must be a multiple of 32, and the maxi-
	     mum is 4096.

     hw.vmx.rxndesc

     hw.vmx.X.rxndesc

	     Number of receive descriptors per ring allocated by the driver.  The default value is 256.  The value must be a multiple of 32, and
	     the maximum is 2048.  There are two rings so the actual usage is doubled.

EXAMPLES

     The following entry must be added to the VMware configuration file to provide the vmx device:

	   ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"
