SElinux and vmware-guestd appear to be arguing over hgfs

We have noticed of late with a CentOS Linux guest on a WinXp or a Win2k host
running VMWare Workstation 5.5 that during boot and shutdown we see the
following messages on the console:

audit(1143131448.495:2): avc: denied { mount } for pid=2250
comm="vmware-guestd" name="/" dev=vmware-hgfs ino=0
scontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t
tclass=filesystem
audit(1143131448.508:3): avc: denied { unmount } for pid=2250
comm="vmware-guestd" scontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t tclass=filesystem

Not sure but seems we saw it on 5.0 as well.

Does anyone know what causes this and or how to resolve.

thanks
