Describe the bug
If the destination import directory is marked as "compressed", the import stage will fail due to .vhdx files not being compressable.

Please add terminal output if possible:

jdsmi@YAMI ❯ ~\dev\scripts ❯
❯ .\Move-WSL.ps1
Getting distros...
Select distro to move:
1: docker-desktop
2: Arch
3: docker-desktop-data
1
Enter WSL target directory:
F:\docker\
Move docker-desktop to "F:\docker"? (Y|n): Y
Exporting VHDX to "F:\docker\docker-desktop.tar" ...
Unregistering WSL ...
Importing docker-desktop from F:\docker...
The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation.  Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted and must not be sparse.
Write-Error: Import failed. Distro not found. Export file at F:\docker\docker-desktop.tar

Disabled compression on the destination folder.

⨯ jdsmi@YAMI ❯ ~\dev\scripts ❯
❯ wsl --import docker-desktop F:\docker F:\docker\docker-desktop.tar
