Expanding a virtual disk using Virtual Disk Manager

$

I am trying to expand an existing virtual disk from 6 GB to 8GB using Virtual Disk Manager in GSX Server V3.1.

 

Firstly, I presume I have to have the virtual machine powered off. I have run the following from the VMWare GSX Server folder on the host:

 

vmware-vdiskmanager -x 8GB "C:\Virtual Machines\EDMS Win 2000 Server\Win 2000 Server.vmdk"

 

I put the path to the virtual disk file in quotes as it contains spaces. However I receive the following error:

 

"Failed to expand the disk : One of the parameters supplied is invalid (1)."

 

However, I have checked my syntax with the examples given in the Virtual Machine Guide, and everything appears to be in order. Any ideas?
