100% agree!
I use VMWare Fusion myself running windows 7 and I am working with unusual 
USB devices quite a lot. I have never come accross a single device which 
failed to connect to the VM.
As silly as it may sound: Does the dialog come up which let's you chose 
where to connect the device to, MAC or VM?
It has a checkbox letting you remember your choice, did you by chance make 
the wrong selection persistent?
