Really stumped on this one. When I deploy this template from one host, it deploys totally fine. When I deploy it to a cluster, with multiple hosts, it invariably fails with message: Error caused by file /vmfs/volumes/xyz/Windows2008.vmdk. I think its related to locking, because when I look in the vmkernel log, it logs this:

Build is: vSphere 5.1, build 1065491.
I've never really seen this problem before and don't see anything really wrong. Any thoughts?
