VBox CLI script questions

This is continuation from the thread Thoughts about importing a package manager.

Quoting the script:
 

print - Configuring a Virtual Network Adapter
VBoxManage modifyvm OracleLinux6Test --nic1 bridged --bridgeadapter1 eth0

On my machine this prints following:
 

- Configuring a Virtual Network Adapter
 
VBoxManage.exe: error: Could not find a registered machine named 'OracleLinux6Test'
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001), component VirtualBoxWrap, interface IVirtualBox, callee IUnknown
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "FindMachine(Bstr(a->argv[0]).raw(), machine.asOutParam())" at line 547 of file VBoxManageModifyVM.cpp

I think this needs some cleanup.
