Description
Hi guys,
Here is a little bug I found playing with vboxmanage import/closemedium commands.
In short: having a double slash in the medium name cause it to be unclosable.
Attached, a script to reproduce the bug. The OVA used to reproduce the bug : http://files2.genymotion.com/dists/4.1.1/ova/genymotion_vbox86p_4.1.1_140127_204331.ova
Tested on Ubuntu 13.10

Works here with the latest VirtualBox release, so it was fixed at some point. Btw. closemedium will complain that the disk image is still attached to 1 VM, the image needs to be detached first and then closemedium works even if the path contains double slashes.
Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
