[Nix-dev] nixops "No such file or directory" after creation

Neither of those suggestions worked.  I'm not sure what is going on.  I've
searched google for the error

[nix-shell:~/Development/test/nix]$ VBoxManage startvm
nixops-d397269c-27fb-11e4-96b7-d1c68637124d-webserver --type headless
Waiting for VM "nixops-d397269c-27fb-11e4-96b7-d1c68637124d-webserver" to
power on...
VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine
'nixops-d397269c-27fb-11e4-96b7-d1c68637124d-webserver' has terminated
unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component
Machine, interface IMachine

And that seems to indicate many different things.  I've tried all the
solutions I've found so far and none of them work for me so far.  I'll have
to keep poking at it.

Thanks,
Rich
