In versions prior to 1.7 (in Beta) it is necessary to rasterise an image layer first. When you forget to do this, the inpainting tool doesn't work.

That also applies to the beta version !!!!

At least in the current Mac beta, it depends on how the 'other brushes' Assistant option is set. I get this notice if it is set as below & I try to use the Inpainting Brush on an "(Image)" layer:

Even though the Assistant option says it applies vector layers, in the beta (but not in the 1.6 retail version) it also applies to "(Image)" layers when the inpainting & other retouching brushes are used on them.

I have never rasterized a file before and the inpainting has worked just fine, so I guess I do not understand why you would need to rasterize.  Is it required for any of the tools to work???

No, for pixel layers -- ones that in the Layers panel have a "(Pixel)" suffix like in the screenshot @HVDB Photography posted -- rasterizing is not necessary because a pixel layer is already a rasterized layer. Image layers --- ones that have the "(Image)" suffix -- are a special type of layer that must be rasterized before the retouching brush tools will work.
