Problem solved. I read on the VMWare site that the files sit in the /tmp directory, but are not visible. This is so nothing can access these files and cause a problem. There for, I was not able to "See" the space being used, but the / filesystem was, infact, being eaten up. I changed the preferences to point the temp file to a larger partition and it is working now. Hope this information might help someone else.
