On a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 server as a VirtualBox guest OS, I see that isofs is not present, I run modprobe -a isofs, it shows up, now I am able to manually mount the Guest Additions iso. I successfully build the shared folders module. Now, I am at the last little bits :-) I'd like to have the ability to read and write to this /media/sf_shared "partition" without having to be root, but I can do it with sudo if needed.
