    I just bought a new MacBook Pro i7. The kernel is configured to run in 64-bit mode. Information about this MBP and the Parallels version I am running is below:

    Parallels Desktop 5: Build 5.0.9344, Revision 558741

    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core i7
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
    L3 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
    Boot ROM Version: MBP61.0057.B05
    SMC Version (system): 1.57f16
    System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.3 (10D2094)
    Kernel Version: Darwin 10.3.1
    Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
    Boot Mode: Normal
    Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled
    64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes

    I migrated all my data and files from my old MBP including Parallels Desktop and my Windows 7 Ultimate VM. I have my VM configured to mount virtual disks to the Mac OS X desktop.

    Starting and running my Windows 7 VM on my new MBP works fine. However, I no longer get a desktop mount icon for my running VM. If I stop the VM and attempt to mount it via Parallels Mounter, it reports that it is unable to open the VM.

    Is this a known issue with the new MacBook Pros?

    I fixed this on my own by uninstalling the 32 bit version of MacFuse and replacing it with the 64 bit version. I suspect that I would not run into this issue if I were running the 32 bit version of the kernel.
