You might want to check which status code that is an try figure out why it happens.

PDMPhysGCPtr2GCPhys is used internally in the VMM in a few place (grep for them and the function their in).  It is also used indirectly by src/VBox/Devices/VMMDev/VMMDevHGCM.cpp in the guise of PDMDevHlpPhysGCPtr2GCPhys (line 266 here).
