This sounds like the type of the session lock you're requesting is
incorrect. For some time now (since 4.2) we have split out a special
lock type for VM processes, and only those will get the objects below
the console initialized. This greatly lowers the cost for "normal API
client" sessions, which are used e.g. by VBoxManage and the VM manager
GUI, as they never needed these objects.
So double check if you use LockType_VM - all VM frontends do this since
the split happened (and the API change is documented in the SDK manual),
see VBoxSDL.cpp.
Hope this helps,
Klaus
