OK sorry guys false alarm, after I found this

http://www.thinkvirt.com/?q=node/181

and updated the metadata to vmware_ostype=windows7Server64Guest that
seems to have resolved the current issue and allowed it to spawn.

Thanks.

  nova refuses to boot the image however. The log is quite long so I've
  attached it below.

  Running Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, everything is running Grizzly from the
  Ubuntu Cloud Archive except nova-computes
  /usr/share/pyshared/nova/virt/vmwareapi which is running from VMware
  provided source.
