Have you told VirtualBox to connect the USB stick to the guest machine? By default, VirtualBox will ignore all USB devices and the host will control them. Plug the USB stick into the host and wait a few moments for things to settle, then select "Devices > USB Devices > Whatever the USB Stick shows up as". That should put a tick next to that device and the guest will be given control of the device. Again, allow things a moment to settle, then run "lsusb" in the guest to check that it sees the stick.
