I remember that sometimes, the vmdk is in a splitted format, even when 
their is only one file (to small to be splitted).
In that case, qemu-img does not work, you need to convert this vmdk to a 
flat file with the vmware disk tool, something like :

$ vmware-vdiskmanager -r source.vmdk -t 0 result.vmdk

Then qemu-img can convert it to qcow2 or raw, if you want.
