You don't use 32 bit VMWare for 64Bit guest. You have to buy VMWare 64Bit or you can use VirtualBox from Oracle for free.
Thanks for the suggestions. I installed OVB and the OVM instances work just fine. I haven't seen all the functionality that was available in VMWare but this was a great replacement for 64-bit machines.
