Is the above correct permission?
Those are default permissions. However those normally won't give a
normal user access. You can change the permissions of that
file/device to enable your user to have access.
I am typing this on my mobile and can't quickly tell you how to do
that on a permanent basis. But for a quick change you can use 'chown'
to change the owner to your own user.
What about 'gpasswd -a <user> tty' to add the tty group to the user?
Needs a re-login to make use of the changes.

Yes, I'm tty group:
tty lp wheel mail cron audio cdrom postgres cdrw usb users scanner vboxusers
in addition I have try to change the permission to:
chmod 0666 /dev/ttyS0
but it makes no difference, when starting virtualbox xp I'm still getting the
error:
NamedPipe#0 failed to connect to local socket /dev/ttyS0
(VERR_NET_CONNECTION_REFUSED).
