This was solved in the VirtualBox forums
(http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15512). Essentially
what you have to do is edit the install script.
Step 1: run the regular export script with
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run --target ~/tmp/
where ~/tmp is any folder where you want to extract a bunch of files to.
Step 2: go to that folder (~/tmp/ in my case) and open the install.sh file. Go
to line 415 and change
15 1.5.99.* | 1.6 )
to
15 1.5.99.* | 1.6.0 )
Step 3: run install.sh
sudo ./install.sh
after this, just restart and everything should work properly.
