" The VM could not be imported; the end of the file was reached prematurely."

If your desktop is a windows and you xva file is larger than 4GB, it will be truncated to a 4GB file. Try to copy it on the fly from one server to another via scp

me@oldxen:~$ scp file.xva me@newxen:/path/to/copy/the/file/on/.
