Research direction
Start with linked_clone.py and the pyVmomi NoPermission traceback, focusing on the vim.Datastore object and the Datastore.AllocateSpace privilege named in the error. Compare the production account's permissions with the operation the script performs, then determine whether the issue is missing configuration or a pyVmomi defect.
