There's no existing VM with that name that I can see. It may have come from
one of my earlier import attempts,
though that earlier attempt did not show up in the GUI, it did write files
to the export domain.

I re-ran the conversion again with a rename but it failed to import it
again, with the same error.

Could there be a record in the DB somewhere, or does it look at the files
alone? Just trying to work out where the conflict is.


Thanks,
