VMWare Converter Standalone is selecting the wrong source system when performing a conversion

I'm having an issue with the converter, 5.5.1, which I have used successfully in the past (I upgraded it from 5.5.0 to see if that fixed anything, but it didn't).

 

I have 9 Windows Servers, so this is not a large installation.  When I select one of my VMs to copy (it is turned off) named CMSP2013 as the source and copy it to a different datasource, I always end up with a copy of another VM (Win2012R2SysPrep).  If I select CMSP2013 and click the link "View source details..." it shows the data for the Win2012R2SysPrep machine, or some other unknown Name.  If I perform the copy, I end up with a brand new machine, instead of a copy of the one I was attempting to move to a new SSD datasource.

 

Why would the Standalone Converter be attempting to copy the incorrect VM?  Has anyone else seen this behavior?  This has been so simple in the past and I can't get past this issue.

 

I've even cracked open the VMX file to see if there's something weird in it, but I done see anything.  It's as if a pointer is messed up somewhere.  However, if I fire up each of the two VMs, they are completely different and operate correctly.

 

Any ideas of what's going on in my virtualized world?

 

Thanks...Russ
