With Debian Etch installed in VirtualBox and the VirtualBox local extensions installed in the Linux kernel I noticed that the VirtualBox local mounts had severe problems (wrong mount point ownership and 'ls' of mount point crashes the session) so now I use a NFS mount to the local host and that works great. CIFS should work fine too. My several days experience with VirtualBox is under Solaris 10U5 with all recommended patches installed.
