Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device

I have Virtualbox 5.0 installed in Mac OS. I installed ubuntu 10.04 as a guest in Virtualbox. I have an external hard drive formated in HFS  (I disable journaling), but everytime I tried to plug this HD, Virtualbox tells me :

Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_PDM_NO_USB_PORTS). 

Code d'erreur :   NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) 

Composant :   ConsoleWrap 

Interface :   IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

I tried

sudo apt-get install hfsprogs

sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdx# /media/mntpoint

and

sudo fsck.hfsplus /dev/sdx#

Still, the HD doesn't want to mount and Virtualbox gives me the same answer.

What can I do?

Regards,

Deli
