We tried to installed the Folsom release (python-nova_2012.2-0ubuntu3~cloud0) and use an ESX Host as compute node.
Creating a new instance with:
nova boot --flavor 2 --image 6e4deabd-ccd6-412e-9bed-e3293f45a2db test1
We get the following error in nova-compute.log which can be fixed by the attached patch.

Christoph - Wie gehts? Mein Deustche ist nicht so gut!
We are using a RHEL - ESXi configuration and ran into the same problem.
We had already applied a patch similar to the one that you have indicated.
Have you been able to actually deploy a VM.
We have run into an issue that when we try to deploy a VM the transfer of the VMDK never happens - sound familiar?
