I can confirm that sethduuid on VHD file also does not work with Windows Vista (32bit).

+1, running into the same issue on VirtualBox 2.1.4 running on OS 10.5.6.

It would be a great feature if, while importing an image and a duplicate UUID is encountered, VirtualBox can offer to automatically change the UUID of the image. With the appropriate warnings.

Thanks for looking into this issue.
