Does this not work for you?
http://virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ
[USB on Ubuntu/Gutsy]
or
http://virtualbox.org/wiki/User_HOWTOS
  http://virtualbox.org/wiki/USB_on_Ubuntu_7.04

I also have this in my /etc/fstab:

## usbfs is the USB group in fstab file - use $ grep vbox /etc/group for
devgid
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=111,devmode=664 0 0

Without it I get the "Failed to create a proxy device..." (I just tested
by commenting out the line in fstab).

  See "11.5.7 USB not working" in the VB Manual (page 147).
