Inspection of this directory showed it to (indeed) be created for userID 500; my login id (which invoked) is 1000. (The default _first user_ id for Fedora-11 is 500).
Once I changed /tmp/.vbox* to the correct userid and gropu vboxusers, then VirtualBox came up. Unfortunately, I will always need to do this - it seems to be a bug (wrong userid).
