Description
Copied running OSX Mavericks 110.9.4 virtual machine from Apple iMac to A;pple MacBook Air. Started on the MBA the vm, went away, came back; the verbose virtual console has last text "hfs: mounted Mac-HD on device root_device". After approx. 5 minutes, powered of the vm. Troubleshooting reveals that on MBA cant even create an OSX vm.
Attached are logs from MBA and iMac of creating OSX vm; iMac powered off after Language Specify. Have Video Capture of the MBA creation attempt and iMac creation.

Please look at the VBoxSVC.log files on your MacBook Air. It complains that the virtual disk image files are not present on that box. We don't support manual copying of VMs + VirtualBox between two hosts. It might work if you know what you are doing but the correct way is to install VBox on the new box, export the VM into OVA from the old box and import the VM from OVA on the new box.

The current VBoxSVC.log shows no errors; added as attachment today this morning

That contradicts current advise being given in the forums. https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=55003
iMac_VBox.log.zip was added twice.
Cant upload the Video Captures (.webm) files as file size exceeded
