The host might be running beagle indexing ?

only when vmware is running?  btw, its not, i don't even have beagle installed.

Does top or win process manager list any interesting items ?

nope

How much memory do you have assigned to the vmguest ?

about 2.1GB

Is the win machine set to not do windows updates etc ? {or office indexing}

office isn't installed, but it does have windows update set to run
automagically.  but i really doubt that's the issue, as the disk
polling is non-stop all the time, and windows update isn't always
doing stuff.

Is the vm guest

I'm running the vmware-server on x86_64 fc6, and vmware workstation on
another identical x86_64 AM2 ubuntu without seeing that.

err, ok.
