I found the same result of yours.
Does your Mac has usb 3.0?
Now vbox only supports usb 2.0.

I have a Macbook 4,1 (Core2Duo)with 4GB and running 10.6.8 host, Win7 32-bit guest. I get this error:

Failed to attach the USB device Apple Inc. Bluetooth USB Host Controller [1965] to the virtual machine Windows 7-64.

USB device 'Apple Inc. Bluetooth USB Host Controller' with UUID {f579a7f1-f0c5-471e-82e8-e4bb47ae7897} is in use by someone else.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: HostUSBDevice
Interface: IHostUSBDevice {173b4b44-d268-4334-a00d-b6521c9a740a}
Callee: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

Can this be fixed/worked around?
