PHP Code:

    def __init__(self, *args):
        self.scanner = (win_scanner if iswindows else osx_scanner if isosx else
                freebsd_scanner if isfreebsd else netbsd_scanner if isnetbsd
                else linux_scanner if islinux else libusb_scanner)
        if self.scanner is None:
            self.scanner = libusb_scanner
        self.devices = []

    def scan(self):
        '''Fetch list of connected USB devices from operating system'''
        self.devices = self.scanner() 


So I guess win_scanner._init has some problem.

Having only used VPC in my time, I know that the virtual hd must also have a device id. Could it be that the device id that VBox has assigned to the virtual HD, happens to be, or conflicts with, a blacklisted one?

I didn't find this in the source. Were did you see it?

Have you tried putting your library and folder you want to connect to on a different virtual drive, not C: (which I assume the guest is also on) as you mention?
