A specified parameter was not correct: spec.sharesinfo.shares

I am getting and error when trying to move a vm from a local data store to a dell power vault direct access data store. In version 6.5 of sphere.  I have moved a few of the other servers with no errors.  However, these  virtual were done in either version 4 or 5 version.  I checked all the vmware settings and didn't see any settings that were wrong as far as I could tell..    Both my host servers have access to the powervault with no issues.  I have another servers that migrated from this setup just fine.  So it has to be something with the VM themselves.  
Anyone have any ideas how to eliminate this error so I can migrate these few servers over to the powervault direct access storage??

Is the migration being down, with the VM powered on or off ?

Yes Andrew I have the VM that we are migrating  powered off.  I used to have custom settings on the resources for more shares on the vm.  I changed all of those settings to normal with my virtual drives in the vm being think provisioned.  at 99 or 100% of the migration it throws this error.  I tried this in both vpshere 5.5 and now migrated to version 6.5 on the vpshere.  However my hosts servers are still sitting at 5.5 only because i want these VM servers off the local datastores.  Then once all my servers are on the direct storage.  I will upgrade the hosts to version 6.5.  :-)
