Please look at the VBoxSVC.log files on your MacBook Air. It complains that the virtual disk image files are not present on that box. We don't support manual copying of VMs + VirtualBox between two hosts. It might work if you know what you are doing but the correct way is to install VBox on the new box, export the VM into OVA from the old box and import the VM from OVA on the new box.

The current VBoxSVC.log shows no errors; added as attachment today this morning

"We don't support manual copying of VMs + VirtualBox between two hosts. It might work if you know what you are doing but the correct way is to install VBox on the new box, export the VM into OVA from the old box and import the VM from OVA on the new box."

That contradicts current advise being given in the forums. https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=55003
