In the end, we raised a call with VMWare directly. After their engineer removed and tried to re-add the VM to the host, she decided to just create a new vm and attach the old disk to the new VM. This solved the problem, but VMWare were unable to find out exactly why it was being marked as invalid. The suspicion from them was the vmx file had something invalid in it. The engineer could not tell me what though.
