Description
When cloning a vdi file using "VBoxManage clonevdi" it deletes the target file if it already exists.
When issuing:
$ VBoxManage clonevdi 7e10f139-5844-4735-169f-a96813bd6068 w2ktim2.vdi
The output is:
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.4.0

Error: failed to clone disk image. Error message: Could not copy the hard disk image '/home/vms1/.VirtualBox/VDI/w2ktim1.vdi' to '/home/vms1/.VirtualBox/VDI/w2ktim2.vdi' (VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS)
At this point the target file is already deleted. Issuing a new clonevdi continues. At least I did it for the right image... ;-)
