According to the metadata, the 000163.vmdk has the "uncleanShutdown" flag set.
from the documentation:
uncleanShutdown is set to FALSE when VMware software closes an extent. After an extent has been opened, software checks for the value of uncleanShutdown. If TRUE, the disk is checked for consistency and uncleanShutdown is set to TRUE after this consistency check. Thus, if the software crashes before the extent is closed, this boolean is found to be set to TRUE the next time the virtual machine is powered on.
I'm not sure whether this helps, but you may try to run
vmware-vdiskmanager -R "Windows 7-cl1-000163.vmdk"
As a precaution, copy the file to a temporary folder.
