If i do a Mac system report it says 55 Gigs free.
You have the amount of free space on the Macintosh HD as reported by OS X, which you said was 55 GB. The amount of free space on a virtual hard disk that hasn't been pre-allocated is virtual and can only be used if there is available free space on the Host for the sparse virtual disk to grow.
