vmware-cmd stop soft/trysoft timeout

Has anyone had an issue with the

 

vmware-cmd  stop soft' command is issued from the hostOS, the guestOS properly shuts down gracefully, but the poweroff never occurs.  After about 2 minutes or so the following message appears:

 

VMControl error -7: Timeout

 

If I have a virtual console open to the guestOS and click on the poweroff button once the guestOS has shutdown, the vmware-cmd that was issued on the hostOS completes normally.  However, I shouldn't have to do that, it should poweroff automatically, right? Or am I missing something?
