Having issues with "vmclone.pl" and "vmreconfig.pl"

I'm running into an issue when trying trying to execute the RCLI command "vmclone.pl" located on VMware's VIMA

 

Here is quick look at the environment:

 

[vi-admin@vima-primp-industries vm]$ uname -a
Linux vima-primp-industries.com 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[vi-admin@vima-primp-industries vm]$ sudo vifp listservers
172.30.0.64
172.30.0.61

 

 

This proves that accessing the host for info has been done correctly on another command "guestinfo.pl"

 

[vi-admin@vima-primp-industries vm]$ ./guestinfo.pl --vmname UCSB-RESNET --server 172.30.0.64 --operation display


Guest Info for the Virtual Machine 'UCSB-RESNET' under host olga.resnet.ucsb.edu

UCSB-RESNET guestFamily: windowsGuest
UCSB-RESNET guestFullName: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (32-bit)
UCSB-RESNET guestId: winXPProGuest
UCSB-RESNET guestState: running
UCSB-RESNET hostName: WinXPeDev.
UCSB-RESNET ipAddress: 169.254.74.15
UCSB-RESNET toolsStatus: VMware Tools is running and the version is current.
UCSB-RESNET toolsVersion: 103908
UCSB-RESNET Screen - Height: 0
UCSB-RESNET Screen - Width: 0
UCSB-RESNET Disk[0]: Capacity 10725732352
UCSB-RESNET Disk[0]: Path : C:\
UCSB-RESNET Disk[0]: freespace : 5716729856
UCSB-RESNET net[0] - connected : 1
UCSB-RESNET net[0] - deviceConfigId : 4000
UCSB-RESNET net[0] - macAddress : 00:50:56:b4:69:0b
UCSB-RESNET net[0] - network : IsolatedNetwork
UCSB-RESNET net[0] - ipAddress : 169.254.74.15

 

 

Now the issue arises when executing the clone command:

 

[vi-admin@vima-primp-industries vm]$ ./vmclone.pl --vmname UCSB-RESNET --vmname_destination UCSB-RESNET-CLONE-1 --vmhost 172.30.0.64
Host '172.30.0.64' not found

 

 

I've gone ahead and removed the server and tried to re-add but the error still continues and I'm not sure if there's any more info on the error. The host in question is "172.30.0.64" which is running VMware ESXi 3.5u3

 

 

I also found a funny discrpency when trying to execute "vmconfigure.pl":

 

 

 

[vi-admin@vima-primp-industries vm]$ ./vmreconfig.pl
Can't locate object method "new" via package "XML::LibXML::XPathContext" (perhaps you forgot to load "XML::LibXML::XPathContext"?) at ./vmreconfig.pl line 318.

End Disconnect

 

 

I have not tired to rebooting the VIMA appliance, but was wondering if there's something I'm missing. I was under the impression the appliance was ready out of the box (or download)
