Hi Michael,
I've found roughly where the problem is, but I don't yet have a good explanation of why it's happening on your system. There's something unusual about the way your virtual machine's bundle is put together, and it is confusing Fusion when it tries to figure out the VM's disk usage. The easiest way to quickly gather a bunch of helpful information would be if you could go into Fusion, then choose Help> Collect Support Information, and then attach the resulting file to a reply here in the forum for me to dig into. It's possible that you might encounter the same rainbow-wheel problem creating the support information bundle... if it stalls there for more than ~15 minutes, let me know and we'll tackle the problem a different way.
Thanks,
