Problem

When trying to Power On an old VM I was greeted with this message:

I checked the Datastore and everything seemed to be present and correct. I tried to migrate the VM to a different Host, but again I was shown this error. A quick Google didn't show up anything useful so I decided to check the logs.

running the command  tail /var/log/vmware/hostd.log -f whist trying to Power On the VM flagged these error messages:

Other client users were not getting the same errors.
