When I see that message it is usually because I forgot to mount usbfs before starting VirtualBox. This is what my fstab looks like on open SUSE 11.0: usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,busgid=1000,busmode=0775,devgid=1000,devmode=0664 0 0 I found this in the archives somewhere. When i put the two entries like you have it was not stable. Could have just been openSUSE issue.
