10122,"ModifyVM --natpf does not work as documented in the manual, GUI works fine though",Sudarshan Wadkar,,"I have a simple setup with Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop as host and Ubuntu 11.10 CLI-minmal as guest. There is one eth0 on guest which is configured as NAT forwarded.

If I add port forwarding rules via the GUI, everything seems to be fine and the rules are in place. However, if I try to accomplish the same thing via CLI, I get following error:

{{{
$ VBoxManage modifyvm ""Clibuntu"" --natpf1 ""guest7184,tcp,,7184,,7184""
VBoxManage: error: The machine 'Clibuntu' is already locked for a session (or being unlocked)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE (0x80bb0007), component Machine, interface IMachine, callee nsISupports
Context: ""LockMachine(a->session, LockType_Write)"" at line 367 of file VBoxManageModifyVM.cpp
}}}
The NAT engine must be working fine as the GUI works, looks like CLI syntax/params are wrong.
