I have installed vmware toolbox in ubuntu (guest OS). I tried to share a location from the settings of the virtual machine. But when I click Ok, the following error in thrown in the host (Win 7) OS.

"Unable to update run-time folder sharing status: Unknown error."

The location is not showing up in /mnt/ What could be the reason?

P.S I have vmhgfs process running in my Ubuntu VM.

I was following this method.
