You're not running esx are you?
Heh, I just did the same thing on a much smaller scale. Couldn't afford the long downtime while a copy took place so I shut the vm's off, snapped it and restarted it. I then scripted all files "without" 00000 in the name to rsync over (ssssslowly). I then only had to shut the vm off and sync the small snap's and restart the vm's on other storage. Only took a few minutes.
