Hm, that's strange. The .vmx config seems to be malformed.

What libvirt version and what ESXi version do you use?

How did you create the vmtest.local guest and can you start it?

Could you show us the original .vmx config file? You can get if by
opening https://esx1.local/folder/ in a web browser and clicking
through the directory tree until you get to vmtest.local.vmx.
