When I choose the 'Settings' option for a virtual machine I've created, I get a Warning message that reads:

Failed to access USB subsystem
Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
The service might not be installed on the host computer.

Per some other posts, I've added the GID for the vboxusers group to the usbfs line in /etc/fstab, but the Warning message persists.

What is this message and how do I satisfy the requirement(s) to keep it from appearing?

Thanks.

Trying VirtualBox on OpenSuSE 11.0 B3 and even with the changed that work in 10.3, I cannot get USB to come up.

Followup: In 11.0 usbfs is not being mounted at boot time. You have to run as root mount -a to get usbfs mounted and then VB will see usb devices. Bug report submitted to Novell.
