The format is:

VBoxManage sharedfolder add "<guest>" -name "<share>" -hostpath "<path>"

where:
   <guest> is the name of the VBox guest that is listed in the left
           column when you run VirtualBox.

   <share> is the name of the Share that will appear to the guests.

   <path>  is the full path on the host to the directory that will
           be shared to the guests.

If you run "VBoxManage list vms" you will see output showing the guest
Names as well as UUIDs.  You can user either the guest Name or UUID in
place of <guest> above.
