Let me guess, you're using devfs, right?  The following entries fixed that
for me (there's probably a more elegant solution):

REGISTER        misc    MKOLDCOMPAT
UNREGISTER      misc    RMOLDCOMPAT

LOOKUP  vmnet0  EXECUTE mknod --mode=600 $devname c 119 0
LOOKUP  vmnet1  EXECUTE mknod --mode=600 $devname c 119 1
LOOKUP  vmnet2  EXECUTE mknod --mode=600 $devname c 119 2
LOOKUP  vmnet3  EXECUTE mknod --mode=600 $devname c 119 3
LOOKUP  vmnet4  EXECUTE mknod --mode=600 $devname c 119 4
LOOKUP  vmnet5  EXECUTE mknod --mode=600 $devname c 119 5
LOOKUP  vmnet6  EXECUTE mknod --mode=600 $devname c 119 6
LOOKUP  vmnet7  EXECUTE mknod --mode=600 $devname c 119 7
LOOKUP  vmnet8  EXECUTE mknod --mode=600 $devname c 119 8
LOOKUP  vmnet9  EXECUTE mknod --mode=600 $devname c 119 9
