Is this Virtual Box issue or Windows 8 security issue?

Hi guys,
I have an issue which I am trying to resolve for the past three days. I have read a lot of stuff over the net, but still no solution.
What my setup is:
- Host machine - Windows 7, bat file 1 - restores a VM state and starts the machine.
- Guest machine - Windows 8, bat file 2 - executed from host machine via the following command: vboxmanage guestcontrol "machineName" exec batfile.bat --username "userName" --password "password" --wait-exit
The issue here is that I need to check some files at %localappdata%. However, all the processes started from the second file seem to be run with System profile. Instead of C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local, I get the following location: C:\Windows\systems32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local.
Is this VirtualBox omission or it is just Windows 8 new super security?
