Hi Peter & Others,
I may have been a little premature in saying they have fixed the
problem in 3.0.10. Its seems a little dependent on the USB stick.
Some work, and some don't.

Try the old way: with the problem USB stick mounted on your Mac, run
Virtual Box and without launching the Virtual Machine, click the
"Settings" icon then choose "Ports" in te Settings interface. Make
sure the "Enable USB Contoller" checkbox is ticked, as well as the
"Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller". You then have to click on the "Add
New USB Filter" (the second of those funny little unlabelled icons
running down the righthand side of the window). This will show a list
of available USB devices, one of which should be the USB stick in
question. Choose it and it will appear in the list of USB Device
Filters. Click OK.
Start your Virtual Machine and Windows should now recognise the new
device. This procedure has always worked for me. No where near as
transparent as Parallels 4, but then it's just one of the reasons that
Virtual Box is free and P4 isn't.
