Thanks for reporting this. I'd like you to try a couple of things to
help us find a solution for this.

1) try editing the OVF file, and changing the format from:

http://www.vmware.com/interfaces/specifications/vmdk.html#sparse

To:

http://www.vmware.com/specifications/vmdk.html#sparse

If that works great. If it doesn't, we may have to find a workaround
such as using ovftool to convert the OVF to a different VMDK format.
Instead of the sparse format ESX seems to like the streamOptimized
format the best. OVFtool can convert a VMDK to streamOptimized.

2) using ovftool to convert the OVF file:

ovftool path/to/appliance.ovf path/to/appliance2.ovf

If that doesn't work try converting to vmx and back:

ovftool path/to/appliance.ovf path/to/appliance.vmx
ovftool path/to/appliance.vmx path/to/appliance.ovf

Thanks!
