You need to add this line into your /etc/fstab

---
# Added for VirtualBox
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1002,devmode=666 0 0
---

Where 1002 is a group granted to handle usb. In my /etc/group I have:

usbusers:x:1002:lgallard

This means, lgallard user (me) belongs to usbusers group.


This information is in the manual, section "10.4.6. USB not working"
