Can not start a guest OS for desktop alias (Host: Mac os x, 10.9)

[tzahreddin]

In the virutalBox Manager I created an alias on the desktop (rightklick on the guest os), the icon is created, it points to .../Windows-Büro-Rechner.vbox .

When i start it, the VirutalBox Managers starts and gives me this error-Message:

Trying to open a VM config '/Users/[...]/VirtualBox VMs/Windows-Büro-Rechner/Windows-Büro-Rechner.vbox' which has the same UUID as an existing virtual machine.

Konnte die virtuelle Maschine in /Users/thomaszahreddin/VirtualBox VMs/Windows-Büro-Rechner/Windows-Büro-Rechner.vbox nicht öffnen.

Trying to open a VM config '/Users/thomaszahreddin/VirtualBox VMs/Windows-Büro-Rechner/Windows-Büro-Rechner.vbox' which has the same UUID as an existing virtual machine.

with these details:

Fehlercode:NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Komponente:Machine Interface:IMachine {480cf695-2d8d-4256-9c7c-cce4184fa048} Callee:IVirtualBox {fafa4e17-1ee2-4905-a10e-fe7c18bf5554}

This is annoying for me because some Windows-Users should be able to use this Guest and they are not familar with os x and so are not able to start the Windows guest.

i did the same with debian guest - this works.

So maybe the german Umlaut ü in the guest-name is the problem?

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
