That fixed the issue --
I downloaded the 4.2 files from the link you posted , maybe sunstone is 4.1.80 ?? That's where I see that version.

Hi Michael,
I think the problem is that the FSTYPE should read something like "vmdk_thin", instead of "vmfs".
Also, please upgrade to 4.2.0, I believe you are using some development version ;)
Hope it helps,
-Tino

>>> Since it cannot attach a disk using mkfs , it fails to add the additional disk. I suppose I could create a blank disk image and register it in the IMAGES Datastore and attach that for now -- Based on our use of that extra disk and VMware's ability to re-size them (especially for windows), this could lead to a large number of disks to manage on a given VM, instead of the ability to expand the disk.
