When LB is running in its VM, my USB-based scanner won't work, so the combination is obviously messing up the USB system somehow. I took the scanner apart before I found out what was going on, so it might be worth a mention.
--- USB Support is patchy to be frank - and I think this is one of the places that Oracle are going to improve in 4.0 (and of course start charging for the priv). My USB printer works fine but two of three (different) USB key fobs I have simply won't mount on the Linux Image even though they appear to be identical in size and FileSytem. Also, and this may or may not be general on Windows, if I have VBOX on my mac and plug in my iPod to sync with the Host Mac, unless I remember to disable USB support the iPod is not detected by my mac even though it cannot be seen on the Linux box either. So it doesn't surprise me, try turning USB support off on the VBOX GUI (either right click on the USB icon in the bottom right corner or shut the machine down and use the 'settings' option to simply turn it off from the VM.
