virt-v2v failing for VMware guest with vmware-tools dependency errors

Issue

When using virt-v2v to convert a VMware guest running RHEL 6.4 to a KVM host, the tool copies the VM's datafile but then the conversion fails due to a vmware-tools dependency issue.

# virt-v2v -ic ${ESXHOST} -os ${STORAGEPOOL} ${ESXVM}
