Ah, the error is actually that it can't find your recipe, machines. The public version contains a default and a tools recipe. If you have a local copy that you modified you need to make sure that it is uploaded to your chef-server so that the chef-client doesn't look at the public supermarket for the cookbook by the same name.

Or better yet prepend your organization name to the cookbook to make the difference more clear, such as

<yourorgname>_vmware

As a side note, -l info will only display information level logger output. You probably want to do either just chef-client or -l debug depending on how much information you want spat out at you.
