It appears to me that the problem is a Windows permission problem i.e. your user doesn't have permissions to access USB devices. That's a bit of a guess because I know absolutely zero about Windows. That being said I come to this conclusion because you are right that once you insert the usb device and it's attached to the VM you wouldn't see be able to access from host. This tells me that your permissions on host are correct or VBox could'nt access it and also that Guest Additions are installed correctly. The only other thing I can say is if you another VM open at the same time it may be grabbing the device. I have been frustrated by this when having several VM's running. Wish I could be more help. Good Luck.
