On the guest:
# lsmod | grep -i vbox
vboxadd 62772 0
Sorry, I had not known about the module vboxvfs.
So, I had to modprobe vboxvfs manually.
The mount now works.
So, why was vboxvfs not loaded automatically after running
VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run?
vboxadd was autoloaded, because I did not modprobe it at all.
Anyhow, thanx for the tip about vboxvfs.
Cheers,
JD

Hmm, so allow me to also re-iterate some questions ;-)
On the Host you have defined a shared folder with the name home?
On the Guest you have installed the "Guest Additions for Linux"?
I would assume a "yes" here, otherwise you would not have the
mount.vboxsf program.
On the Guest the relevant VBox kernel modules are loaded (vboxvfs and
vboxadd)?
Are both of them listed when you do a lsmod | grep vbox ?
