Getting error on 'vagrant up' for video 'Installing a Ruby Development Environment'

Hello, I'm getting the following error when attempting to use 'vagrant up'. I've also set the permission wide open (777) in the VirtualBox VMs folder but that seemed to have no effect. Any ideas?

Macintosh:treehouse tomlewis$ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> default: Importing base box 'treehouse-rails32'... There was an error while executing VBoxManage, a CLI used by Vagrant for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["import", "/Volumes/ThighMaster/Users/tomlewis/.vagrant.d/boxes/treehouse-rails32/0/virtualbox/box.ovf", "--vsys", "0", "--vmname", "Treehouse_1446331341191_73698", "--vsys", "0", "--unit", "11", "--disk", "/Volumes/Thigh Master/Users/tomlewis/VirtualBox VMs/Treehouse_1446331341191_73698/box-disk2.vmdk"]

Looks like the path to the VirtualBox VMs folder was incorrect. I was able to fix this by setting the location in Virtual Box preferences.
