In the copied .ovf files, change all file reference to use a relative path -
<ovf:File ovf:href="file:///export/nim/appliances/<Unique Identifier>/image1.mksysb" ovf:id="vimRef1" ovf:size="<size>"/>
to:
<ovf:File ovf:href="image1.mksysb" ovf:id="vimRef1" ovf:size="<size>"/>
Now we can create our tar achive ensuring that the ovf is the first file in the archive -
tar cvf <file-name>.ova <file-name>.ovf tar uvf <file-name>.ova <file-name>.mksysb
