Description
Once the main VirtualBox gui is run and the licence is accepted, creating and managing virtual machines with VBoxManage ignores the VBOX_USER_HOME var. Below I start with no .VirtualBox directory at all.
$ VBOX_USER_HOME=~/.VirtualBox-TEST VBoxManage createvm -name VMTEST1 -register VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.0.12 (C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Virtual machine 'VMTEST1' is created and registered. UUID: ddbe8c75-1221-446c-8b9c-9df203321d45 Settings file: '/home/user/.VirtualBox-TEST/Machines/VMTEST1/VMTEST1.xml' <<< THIS IS CORRECT
$ VirtualBox << Run without the var and accept the license, which creates ~/.VirtualBox
$ VBOX_USER_HOME=~/.VirtualBox-TEST VBoxManage createvm -name VMTEST2 -register VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.0.12 (C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Virtual machine 'VMTEST2' is created and registered. UUID: 901d2034-1f2e-47cd-8a16-ebdaddeb8ab1 Settings file: '/home/user/.VirtualBox/Machines/VMTEST2/VMTEST2.xml' <<< THIS IS WRONG
