Comment (by Don Quixote):

 The problem I had with getting VirtualBox to use a physical USB stick as a
 drive for the guest was that I did not have permission to read or write
 /dev/sdb on Linux.  I needed to add my user to the vboxusers group, "chgrp
 vboxusers /dev/sdb" then re-create the virtual drive VMDK file.

 Also after adding myself to the vboxusers group I needed to log out and
 back in again.
