Hi,

Did you install the virtualbox-ose package from the Ubuntu repositories? If so, this is the Open Source Edition of VirtualBox which does not appear to include USB support:

http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox

To obtain USB support you may need to obtain the closed-source edition of VirtualBox directly from the project's website:

http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Good luck!

Chris

Gutsy includes a new version of the unix kernel that handles usb devices a bit differently which can cause problems with virtualbox
virtualbox should be changed - but it the meantime there is a workaround

see : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kvm/+bug/156085/comments/5

hope this helps,
