Sorry I got here late and I have missed that part. 'Looks shamefully
down at his feet'.

>From the GUI does > File > Virtual Media manager menu offer you the
option to 'delete' the VM. *Careful here* because you *remove* the
config listing (it says release (means disconnect) and then *remove*
(means remove from listing from the config) and then *delete* the files
to this you say *no*. A yes here would delete the VM.

Then you can add it back (might take a recreate with the option to use
an existing VM') to the GUI 'Storage' section.

I had something similar to what you describe and this fixed it for me.

Good luck. Get back. Hopefully with a success! story.  :-) Hope I helped
and willing to help more if needed.
