Another SD Reader Question

I have spent the best part of today, and yesterday, reading manuals and forum posts but no-one seems to have posted a solution.

I have the latest (4.1.2) Virtual Box with an Ubuntu 11.04 image running on a '10 Macbook Pro host, running OS X Lion.

I need access to the SD reader but every time I request access to it, I receive the device 'is busy with a previous request'. I have the latest guest additions, latest extension pack, have tried adding the device and I have ensured the SD card is ejected from my Mac. I know this has been posted a lot but I cannot afford to lose yet another day trying to resolve this tomorrow so any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Actual error is shown below:

Code: Select all

Failed to attach the USB device Apple Internal Memory Card Reader [9833] to the virtual machine Ubuntu.

USB device 'Apple Internal Memory Card Reader' with UUID {a0eb7cea-1355-411e-abe5-adc33ced3b65} is busy with a previous request. Please try again later.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Component: HostUSBDevice
Interface: IHostUSBDevice {173b4b44-d268-4334-a00d-b6521c9a740a}
Callee: IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}
Thanks in advance!
