And now I must apologize because there is udev rules for USB. It just doesn't work how I thought it did.
The vboxdrv kernel module has a rule under /etc/udev/rules.d. If you want I can send you the exact rule as an attachment. The rules are required to be all on one line and they are too long to be on a single line in an email so it was simply confusing to paste them here. It should not matter because I certainly did not write these rules. If the rule doesn't exist I would try to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as root. If this fails, make sure you have dkms installed and also the linux-header package installed for your kernel.
