Instead of udev I use an entry in "/etc/fstab". It looks like this:

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1002,devmode=664 0 0

But replace the 1002 with the group ID for vboxusers on your machine. You 
could use this command to make the entry:

echo "none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=$(grep '^vboxusers' /etc/group|
cut -d: -f3),devmode=664 0 0"|sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
