Thank you for responding so quickly to my inquiry. First, I do want to mention I first created this VM in the newest Oracle .deb available from them at http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.2.8/virtualbox-3.2_3.2.8-64453~Ubuntu~lucid_i386.deb As well, I installed that versions guest additions, uninstalled Oracle VBox and installed OSE version from Ubuntu repos, opened this VM in OSE, clicked Devices -> Install Guest Additions, then I opened a terminal and typed 'cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS 3.2.8 64453' then typed 'sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run' when it glitched then I bugged this.

In OSE when I did a fresh install and fully updated Maverick and ran your suggestion at a terminal 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-x11' it worked perfectly no glitch.

In summation, I unnecessarily complicated this issue by mixing and matching different VBox'es and based on my experience with VirtualBox I should have known better then this. But, someone else could do something similar and crash into the same wall.
