Josh, I encountered this problem often so I became frustrated...
My advice is to switch immediately to the VMplayer route and do not
use Virtualbox anymore.
(VMplayer has improved a lot)
Look at the download page http://wiki.sagemath.org/DownloadAndInstallationGuide
what to do,
and follow the instructions at 
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support/t/7e82f6dc7b4f5065
Before you switch, do NOT forget to download ALL your worksheet files
first!
Success! Roland
