Not to butt in where I really wasn't asked, but that article about cloning may in fact confuse the issue. If you don't have a BootCamp partition (and I'm guessing you don't as VMware Fusion doesn't require one) then just do a clone of the entire Mac OS X drive with SD! It will clone the VMware Fusion partition as well.

I didn't even know about SD! until after I had installed first Parallels (ugh) and then VMware Fusion (yeah!) and SD! will clone the VMware Fusion partition just fine.

I would recommend reinstalling the VMware Tools in Fusion when you fire it up after you clone to the iMac though, just to be sure your not subject to any iMac vs. Mac Mini differences. You may also experience some speed issues at first, but this is normal. VMware Fusion needs to know what system AND Mac it is running on before it will run at optimal speed.
