    I think that you have a carrier_return in the description value, instead of a space. This explains why the file is not readable.

    Notes:
    -1- I see you use only 1vCPU, this might be a bit low sometime.
    -2- You can use new 10.7 vmdk without importaing new appliance.
    You can simply change the reference vmdk file in the disk image of the QEMU VM:
