Description
I've found a bug in Mac OS VirtualBox. I was completely unable to pass control of any USB storage devices to any type of guest (Windows, Linux) until on the Mac OS host I temporarily moved /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext to the desktop, rebooted the host, then ran VBox again and attempted to use a USB device in a Linux guest.
Somehow IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext is interfering with passing USB storage devices to guest operating systems.

No one's looked at this yet? It's critical.. USB storage devices do not work under Mac OS, at all.
