Since when does vmware player(!) allow for the creation of vmware vmdks?
                       ^^^^^^^^^

Again: You need either a prebuilt vmdk image or one of the other vmware
products to create vmdks. vmware player can not do that.

qemu-img is able to write vmdks (compatible vmware 3 and 4), but I
haven't gotten those to fly with vmware player.
