Just yesterday I also had problems with VirtualBox's shared folders, I
just could not access the virtual box shared folder from the (windows)
guest. If you again encounter problems, consider using a different
mechanism for sharing access to the pictures. I'd think using "bridged
networking"[1] and ordinary network sharing (i.e. mount.cifs on Linux
the linux guest) should also do the job.
