Docker-machine fails to build VMware machine and enable shared folders

[WizBangCrash]

• [x] I have tried with the latest version of my channel (Stable or Edge)
• [ ] I have submitted Diagnostics
• [ ] I have included the Diagnostics ID in this Issue
• macOS Version: 10.13.4

Expected behavior

docker-machine create --driver vmware medium should create a new docker machine using VMware and be able to run on VMware Fusion with the host filesystem mounted.

Actual behavior

Errors occur during the create at the enableSharedFolders and addSharedFolder vmware commands and the /User shared folder does not get mounted. This causes all --mount type=bind,source=<dir>,target=<dir> options for docker run and docker-compose to fail to mount the host directories correctly, resulting in unusable containers :-( If I ssh into the machine I can see that the hgfs driver is working because it has mounted /mnt/hgfs and /mnt/hosthome. I can also browse any of the Mac host files from these mount points.

Information

I have installed docker, docker-machine, docker-compose using Homebrew I have also manually installed the updateddocker-machine-driver-vmare` to be able to use the latest vmware drivers.

Docker for Mac: Docker version 18.05.0-ce, build f150324
docker-machine: docker-machine version 0.14.0, build 89b8332docker
VMware Fusion: VMware Fusion: Professional Version 10.1.1 (7520154)

Important output from docker-machine --debug create --driver vmware medium command:

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. docker-machine --debug create --driver vmware medium
2. docker-machine ssh medium
3. /mnt/hgfs & /hosthome are mounted and usable, but /Users has not mounted.
4. docker run -v /Users/dave/Documents:/home/test -it --rm --name test debian results in:
