Not sure if this works. Some Ubuntu user posted a solution (for general 
USB devices) on StackExchange:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20021300/usb-devices-are-not-recognized-in-virtualbox-linux-host/20066190#20066190

In short, the answer was to add the user running VirtualBox to the 
vboxusers group.

But this was for generally mounting usb devices in the guest OS. 
(Windows XP for him).
