Most all of those instructions no longer apply; since 2.1.2 you should no longer need to modify all of those files (including fstab), you just need to make sure that users who need access to USB in guests are members of the vboxusers group. See: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/747 @hanasaki: See 3.7.7 of the VirtualBox manual: file:///usr/share/doc/virtualbox-2.2/UserManual.pdf Also, check: Settings|USB and make sure that 'Enable USB Controller' and 'Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller are checked. Note: you do not need to check the USB device in the filter, you can instead mount it from the GE as long as the filter is there already.
