Hi, could you please run 'testdrive' from a terminal window and post the output, this will hopefully help identify where the problem is.
I don't think testdrive has been tried with virtualbox 2.1.4, I know from Dustin's comments in b ug #495178 it has been tested with VirtualBox 3.0.8 OSE. I have modified the script (patch can be found attached to bug #495178) that will enable testdrive to work with VirtualBox 3.1.2). If you can upgrade to a more recent VirtualBox then you may find that this will solve your problem.
Good luck!
