If the drive mounts successfully in linux and a physical windows OS then it could be a problem with VirtualBox. Have you tried connecting other USB drives to the VB guest?
Is the device formatted with a filesystem that Windows will understand? Also, you mention the guest additions but do you have the non-free extension pack installed on the host machine?

Have you made sure the USB drive isn't mounted on the host machine? And, as I asked above, does it have a Windows readable file system on it?
