OK, I feel so stupid right now.

First off, you're absolutely right. I verified that in the VirtualBox
manual, to be sure.

The problem was, I had commented out the redirects to /dev/null when
the script first failed for diagnostic purposes, which showed me
that /var/run/VirtualBox/ didn't exist. I just forgot to uncomment them
afterwards. *ARGH*

So now it works as intended, tested with WinXP and Ubuntu running in
parallel (now that shows me why I should upgrade from 2 to 4GB RAM).
