If you are using the ose version from suse repository it doesn't support usb. If you are using the binary from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads it has usb support and the latest version works out of the box with usb but you must uninstall any other versions first. The new 2.1 versions setup everything and even work with ipods nowadays.
