"Error: One of the parameters was invalid" from vmrun clone on VMWare Fusion 6

Question

I'm trying to run vmrun clone with VMWare Fusion 6 and seeing the following error:

> /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun -T fusion clone ubuntu-12-04-3.vmwarevm/ubuntu-12.04.3.vmx foo.vmx full
Error: One of the parameters was invalid

This appears to be the correct syntax according to vmrun -h

> /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun -h

clone                Path to vmx file     Create a copy of the VM
                     Path to destination vmx file
                     full|linked
                     [-snapshot=Snapshot Name]
                     [-cloneName=Name]

vmrun clone only works on Fusion Professional. You need to upgrade for this to work.
