Great :) On my side, I completed the open-vm-tools package to be able to build and install the open-vm-tools's kernel module. I have successfully tested the vmhgfs.ko module by sharing a folder between the host and the guest. I'm using a 3.2 kernel but the build is broken for recent kernel (I tried with a 3.14 kernel) I applied most of the patches from debian, fedora and archlinux but I need further testing.
