Unfortunately this isn't the correct layout for the scripts. You need to pick
the set appropriate for the guest OS you're using (either Linux, FreeBSD, or
Solaris), and place all four of the *-vm-default scripts directly in
/etc/vmware-tools. That's where guestd expects to find them.

Let us know if that doesn't work for you.
