There are two USB-related issues in VBox 4.0.6 (Linux hosts only). It is
now mandatory to be member of the vboxusers group to access USB devices.
And there is a bug in the startup script (/etc/init.d/vboxdrv). That script
creates /dev/vboxusb if that directory does not exist yet. Unfortunately
it uses wrong permissions: 640 is incorrect for the directory, 750 is
correct. Search for 640 and replace it by 750. Then remove that directory
and do

  sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start

VirtualBox should now be able to access the USB devices again.

Kind regards,

Frank
