Hi Larry,
thanks for the positive response.
Sure, let your fix settle before taking the next.
Here's a small change on top, that avoids a chkstat build verification issue.
- adjust file attributes on SUID helpers to avoid chkstat issues
- remove obsolete libgsoap-devel (again)
- remove /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules
- it is overruled from vboxdrv init script anyway
- vboxdrv generates a /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules file
on _every_ start, note that fact in /etc/default/virtualbox
and describe a strategy to control this behaviour
- relocate VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh to /usr/lib/virtualbox
this is, where vboxdrv, resp. the generated 60-vboxdrv.rules
file is expecting it

- Install and enable the vboxadd-service init script, to make auto-mounting of shared folders and time synchronization work
- Install VBoxService to /usr/sbin/ instead of /usr/bin/ so that vboxadd-service can find it, it cannot be run as user anyway
- Create the /media folder with appropriate permissions on distributions higher than 13.1, it doesn't exist any more and the one that VBoxService creates automatically cannot be accessed by normal users
- Fixes boo#908669 and boo#936254
