using knife vsphere vm migrate "8.0.4.0-1.0.7-3.1.2" --dest-datastore vnx01_data6 --folder '_Templates/wcs_templates' --resource-pool 'Product Center - Infrastructure Service and Testing' did exit with no such pool```

That error on line 67 is a scoping error (poolname should be config[:resource_pool]) but I have a feeling this command doesn't work well with pools with / in the name. I'm not sure why the code looks for the pool twice, in two different ways. Will need to do some more sleuthing.

If you feel like playing around you could drop line 67 and then use npool in the later lines instead of pool.
