USB Device Capture Showing Incorrect Information

I have 4 Identical USB Devices (3G USB Modems) which are attached to Host via 4 different USB Ports.

There are 4 Windows XP Guest Running and I want to assign all these Devices One by one to each Guest OS.

Problem is when One Device is connected (Which is connected successfully), after that all other 3 USB devices shows captured and thus I am unable to assign the remaining 3 devices to other 3 Guest OS.

Can some one suggest a solution for the same? All 4 devices have same Vendor ID and Product ID when seen from vBoxManage.exe list usbhosts

AFAIK since they are identical VirtualBox (at this time) has no way to determine the uniqueness and so it does not work.

I would suggest you post a ticket at bugtracker and request an enhancement, or at least an explanation of what could be done.
