Ok, so the problem for me is the exhausting of inotify watches.
See https://phobosk.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/howto-fix-a-virtualbox-failed-to-access-the-usb-subsystem-error/

VBoxSVC strace out:
24511 inotify_add_watch(10, "/dev/vboxusb", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device)

Fixed by increasing the limits.
