Unable to detect disks or volumes / CentOS 6.3 / Got a solution?

Hey there,

i just installed vCenter Converter and tried to "view source details" on remote centos 6.3 but it says Unable to detect disks or volumes on the source machine. Make sure the source is a suppoorted Linux distribution.

Logfile:

2012-08-31T15:37:19.247+02:00 [03696 error 'Default'] [Converter Agent SysinfoQuery] while trying to execute "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\plink.exe -noprompt -stdin -P 22 -******* cd /tmp/.vmware-sysinfo-wzmlojfoztbhacsc/; ./vmware-sysinfo-lin32.sh" received error code (238) with result: /dev/sda1

The system runs under /dev/mapper/logical***** , because its a hardware raid.

anyone got ideas? would be great..

greetings
