You can't mix this entry and define your own interface seperately with the setup/terminate scripts. I think that virtualbox will look for that interface and fail if it's not already present. If you were to leave that entry blank, the scripts should be able to do the work for you.
On a side note, I'd recommend that you name the tap devices "vbox#" or similar
to distinguish them from other possible tap interfaces. On my machine I name
them as "vbox_$machine" where machine is the name of the VM.
