Error: the file specified is not a virtual disk

After working flawlessly for months, something went haywire today and my next attempt to access my VM in Fusion was met with "the file specified is not a virtual disk".  I have followed a number of proposed solutions here and on the support page to no avail.

 

One question I have is does it make sense that my .vmdk file is 1 KB in size and the text when viewed in TextEdit is gibberish (compared to, say, my .vmx file which reads in mostly plain English)?  The last update to my .vmdk was at 12:33 pm today, where many of the other files (including the 21 s###.vmdk files) were updated at 2:52 pm.  Is it possible my .vmdk file is corrupted?  If so, can is be rebuilt if I don't have a backup?
