Not sure about Debian but in Ubuntu I had to do the following after setting it up in the VB GUI:

mkdir /home/username/OSX # one time
sudo mount -t vboxsf OSX /home/username/OSX # each time

  • This is all covered in the VirtualBox help file, FWIW... relevant section in the online version: virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sf_mount_manual

  • Tried that and got: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error
