Hmm, I think i had similar error before. That was because I didn't had 
anything in  ~/.Virtualbox directory.
There is some bug about reading/creating config file but i dont have skills to 
find it. Anyway I managed to find solution.
Just create basic ~/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml file with:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VirtualBox>
  <Global>
  </Global>
</VirtualBox>

And then run VirtualBox with "sudo -u youruser VirtualBox".
That solved my issues.
