After manually loading the VM into VirtualBox manually though, everything seems to be ok.

Could this be another permissions issue?

Aah, looks like the path is the problem (the name of the folder representing the OS is missing):

# ls -l ztps-eos_20150120_023909-vbox/ztps-eos_20150120_023909.ovf
ls: ztps-eos_20150120_023909-vbox/ztps-eos_20150120_023909.ovf: No such file or directory

# ls -l **Fedora**/ztps-eos_20150120_023909-vbox/ztps-eos_20150120_023909.ovf

I suspect that if I ran this form within the Fedora folder, it would have succeeded. However, I think we should make this independent of that.

This issue is with this piece of code I didn't update:

def registerVbox(hyper, libDir, vmName, vmOS):
    #Import the VM into Vbox
    if hyper == "virtualbox":
        cmd = "%s/vboxmanage" % libDir
        vmPath = "%s-vbox/%s.ovf" % (vmName, vmName)
        if vmOS == "fedora":
            path = "Fedora/"
        else:
            path = "Ubuntu/"

        print "Path: %s" % path
        print "VM: %s" % vmPath

        subprocess.call([ cmd, "import", vmPath ], cwd=path)

Adding this line should do it:

  if (vmOS == "fedora" or vmOS == "eos"):
