This got me scratching my head for some time.
I have VMware Server 2 and have created few VM machines which I wanted to copy to a passport drive. Though the drive had almost 350 GB of disk space I could not copy the .vmdk file onto it which is just 8 GB. However, all other files for the VM got copied without any problem - but they are of no use without the vmdk file which is the disk file for the VM.
The reason turned out to be the file format of the passport drive - FAT32.
I formatted it and used NTFS file format and voila! The .vmdk file got copied without any issue.
Sometimes you just need to go back to basics :)
