You have to install the extensions to get VirtualBox to see a USB:
  Licensing Information.
     VirtualBox is released as *GPL*=> "Freely available for Windows, 
Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris x-86 platforms."
     VirtualBox Extension Pack => "*Free for Personal Use*, available 
for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris x-86 platforms.
        ( Extension Pack is required for USB 2 Access.)

Download this Prebuilt VirtualBox Appliance and import it:
