Fixed In Version: openstack-nova-2013.2.3-9.el6ost Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The vmware driver has been updated to initially copy cached images to a unique temporary directory before landing. This ensures that only one process is permitted to create the cached copy, thereby restricting resizing of that image to one process only. This fixes numerous race conditions found in previous releases that sometimes prevented multiple instances from using the same image.

Looking at the logs, I think you're hitting https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1333587

The fix is already in Icehouse. I'll look at a Havana backport.

The fixed-in build has already been shipped for this one, so I'm closing it out.
