Problem Mounting USB Stick in Debian Wheezy

["Stephen P. Molnar" <s.molnar@sbcglobal.net>]

I am running Debian Wheezy on an Oracle VB on my Laptop and can't mount 
an USB Stick, although I have installed usbmount.

The system is finding four USB devices:

Logitech USB receiver (my wireless mouse)
The USB  Stick I mounted
and two unknown US Devices

I know that the stick is muntable because it mounts when I insert it in 
a USB port that's run Squeeze as a native OS.  I have to conclude that 
the problme is with the virtual machine in which I am running Wheezy, 
but am very hesitant to mess around with VirtualBox as I really don't 
know what I'm doing.

Help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
