I haven't had any issues with USB on Windoof 7 - but I'm not running
TomTom. My fstab is a little different:-
$ grep -e usb /etc/fstab
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=110,devmode=664,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
NOTE: that it's not commented out, and the devgid is different.
Check that you have the correct devgid:-
$ grep vboxusers /etc/group | sed 's/vboxusers:x:\(.*\):.*/\1/'
I get occasional warnings related to USB about lack of space when
starting a VirtualBox machine, which is fixed with:-
# dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-4.1
Also check that you have the latest VirtualBox guest extensions installed.
If all that fails - test some other USB devices before trying the
VirtualBox forums.
Cheers
