Same thing here as well. It was hell just getting the plugin installed on OS X, fighting with brew, ruby, rvm and nokigiri. I thought I had succeeded and now this.

To top it off, I see that vagrant has the license in ~/.vagrant.d:

$ ls -l ~/.vagrant.d/license-vagrant-vmware-fusion.lic

-rw-r--r-- 1 myusername staff 547 Aug 22 17:45 /Users/patg/.vagrant.d/license-vagrant-vmware-fusion.lic

$ vagrant status

Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:

The plugins failed to load properly. The error message given is
