This is fixed in SVN & the fix will be available with the next major update of VirtualBox.

Having this problem here. VirtualBox 4.0.6 r71344, Mac OS X 10.6.7. Started vboxwebsrv directly in terminal as:

$ /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/vboxwebsrv 

Then I've setup phpvirtualbox under ~/Sites/phpmyadmin-4.0-5/. I have put my username and password in config.php. When tried logging, vboxwebsrv reports the following on the terminal:

00:04:44.466 SQW01    rtldrNativeLoad: dlopen('VRDPAuth.dylib', RTLD_NOW | RTLD_LOCAL) failed: dlopen(VRDPAuth.dylib, 6): image not found

VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary VBoxAuth

After login with admin/admin I'm getting the same error on the vboxwebsrv terminal session.

Hi, I've had a look at /Application/VirtualBox.app/Content/MacOS/ and found VBoxAuth.dylib there. So I started vboxwebsrv from within that directory and it now worked correctly. I'm not sure if this is a problem or intended behavior so I'll just put it here. Thanks!
