David,
Thanks for referral. I tried yor solution but in ubuntu it doesn't work.
The problem is that the USB-ports are seen but apparently they cannot accessed. I think the problem is in the host, not relieving it's hold on the device. If I, e.g. attach an Cruzero USB-stick, the host grasps it and the guest can't reach it. The result is that I can open the device in my host, but not in my guest, although the device menu shows the device but greyed out. I don't know which mechanism takes care of giving control to the guest. It must be some mechanism in virtualbox that at least must have root privileges. The strange thing is that when the guest is stopped I can add a filter with the name of the device, etc. Another thing is that in ubuntu jaunty (and hardy 8.04 LTS) the name usbfs is not known.
I hope a somebody can help me further.
Joep
