So if I remember right the way vclone works is it uses line segments to represent the locations and orientations of the copies to make - the lines represent vector directions. So when it says "Select the vectors" it means "Select the line segments which define the vector directions".

To use vclone you will first create a set of line segments that will control the placement and orientation of the copied objects.

Another way you an do it without vclone is to use the Transform > Rotate command with the "Make copies" option (which can also be enabled by holding down the ctrl key when you click the points in the rotate command) - use that to place several rotated copies of your object and then select the copies and enable history update on them by clicking Edit > History > "Enable updates". After that if you transform the original object the rotated copies will update.
