ESX 3.0.3 vmkfstools not working

Hi all, just joined this site looking for some help.. I started here when we had ESX 3.0 and now up to 3.0.3 looking to go to 3.5 soon when we get our new servers. My current issue is im trying to clone a template. As I have always done on the windows PC I open Putty username/password su -  and im in root.... then I go with vmkfstools -i dirtotemplate/ /newdir  but I get a Bash: vmkfstools: command not found   so I searched for vmkfstools and found an executable vmkfstools file in /usr/sbin  though now I did a search and cant find it. I believe someone said when you login as su - it moves it to another directory.. not sure... The point of the clone is so it will rename to what I want.. though could I just copy the directory to where I want it to be then in Winscp rename the files to what I want then add to inventory... start it.. and change computer name? This worked fine when I started here but I am wondering if the 3.0.3 upgrade messed something up. It worked from atleast 3.0 to 3.0.2
