I think vmware counts on the usbfs filesystem which seems to have been removed in gutsy
as far as I know there are two options to resolve this
1.
add following line at the end in /etc/fstab
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0
2.
change /etc/init.
remove comment from the following 4 lines starting with mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=
ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/
mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
then reboot (if you can't reboot -> execute those 4 commands or mount usbfs manually)
