Ticket #14350 (closed defect: fixed)
The --setuuid switch of `vboxmanage storageattach` is broken in vbox 5 => Fixed in SVN

Description
When passed an empty argument, it sets a null uuid instead of a random one, making the disk image unusable.
$ vboxmanage storageattach MyVM --storagectl SATA --port 1 --medium \
~/VirtualBox\ VMs/MyVM/MyVM.vdi --type hdd --setuuid ""
Note: vboxmanage internalcommands sethduuid works well; as a workaround the two commands can be combined, omitting the --setuuid switch of storageattach.
