This used to work, and now it fails while trying to attach  the ISO image.
Is there a workaround?

# create a VM
VBoxManage createvm --name sunny --ostype Solaris -register

# create a disk and attach it
HDD=/Users/sisred-pub/VirtualBox/Disks/sunny.vdi
VBoxManage createhd -filename  $HDD -size 6000 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm sunny --hda $HDD

# attach the Solaris ISO and boot it
VBoxManage modifyvm sunny --boot1 disk --boot2 dvd
# THE NEXT LINE FAILS
VBoxManage modifyvm sunny --dvd
/Users/sisred-pub/VirtualBox/ISOs/osol-0906-x86.iso
VBoxManage startvm sunny


The error I get is:

VBoxManage modifyvm sunny --dvd
/Users/sisred-pub/VirtualBox/ISOs/sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.1.0

Thanks in advance for any help.
