Which distro are you using as your host OS? On some older versions of Ubuntu I've had to follow an online guide to get usbfs set up correctly. Here is one such guide: http://www.arsgeek.com/2007/10/24/get-usb-devices-mounted-on-your-virtualbox-xp-machine-in-gutsy-ubuntu-710/ This is pretty dated but it may offer the clues you need.
