I am running VirtualBox current production release as a replacement for 
VMWare workstation.  Under 32 bit RHEL 5, all of the hardware worked, 
including USB on the identical workstation (hardware platform) as I now 
have.

Using the same configuration (including changes to the groups file), but 
now installing VirtualBox current production release for RHEL 6 X86-64, 
I cannot access the USB devices.  I can indirectly through shared 
folders from the MS Win guest to the linux host, but for certain uses, 
MS Win requires a direct mount, not a shared folder / network mount.

Is anyone running SL6 X86-64 with VirtualBox and accessing the USB 
drive?  If so, have you also configured VirtualBox, a MS Win guest, and 
SAMBA on the same physical machine to allow the MS Win guest to print to 
the linux host printer(s)?
