In Ubuntu 8.04 (Gutsy Gibbon), I found the USB Devices permissions are in 40-basic-permissions.rules now.

I too had this issue in Hardy… here is what I did to solve it thanks to this site ;-)

# USB serial converters
SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, GOTO=”usb_serial_start”
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ENV{DEVTYPE}==”usb_device”, GOTO=”usb_serial_start”
GOTO=”usb_serial_end”
LABEL=”usb_serial_start”
SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, GROUP=”vboxusers”, MODE=”0664″
ATTRS{idVendor}==”0403″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”6001″, \
MODE=”0660″, GROUP=”dialout”
LABEL=”usb_serial_end”

Thanks so much for this. With it, I got USB support back in VirtualBox. =)
