Re: open-vm-tools problem
I have the same issue with my vmware tools and I notice the dmesg (at least mine) logged the following:
vmmemctl: Unknown symbol Balloon_ModuleCleanup
vmmemctl: Unknown symbol Balloon_ModuleInitOffline

Re: open-vm-tools problem
Exactly the same message from dmesg for me:
vmmemctl: Unknown symbol Balloon_ModuleCleanup
vmmemctl: Unknown symbol Balloon_ModuleInit
Any idea?

Re: open-vm-tools problem
Doing a complete uninstall and reinstall of the tools worked. Not sure why.

I tried that but it didn't worked for me.
It seems that the version 2009.09.18-2, made available today, solves this issue! At least THIS worked for me. 
How about you, people?
