Failed to attach USB device - DVDROM

[Lubos Kosco]

running virtualbox as root I tried to attach an USB DVDROM - virtual one from ILOM KVM (from Devices/USB Devices/blah), it failed saying:

Failed to attach the USB device "blah" to the virtual machine "blah"

CALLEE RC: NS_ERROR_FAILURE ( 0x80004005)

dmesg:

oh ... and it seems doing above as unprivileged user has some issues even in settings ( ​http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8641&start=60#p75805 )

Could you please try with VirtualBox 3.1 (requires solaris nevada 124 or higher) and reopen this ticket if the problem exist.
