When I run PACKER_LOG=debug packer build server.json I get the error:

Running the command the failed by itself:
> /Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun [-T fusion clone ubuntu_12.04.3.vmwarevm/ubuntu_12.04.3.vmx output-vmware-vmx/packer-vmware-vmx-1388782290.vmx full]
-bash: /Applications/VMware: No such file or directory
Why is packer looking for /Applications/VMware? Could it be a problem escaping the space in VMware Fusion.app?
My template:
