OS X is my host OS.

I have windows xp and Ubuntu 10.10 on guest OS. They both work great. When I eject USB flash drive from host OS, it appears in windows guest OS but it does not appear in Ubuntu Guest OS.

I never run both guest OS at the same time. It's always either or.

I am running, VM VirtualBox 4.1.10 and installed latest guest additions and also installed VM virtualbox extension pack.

Make sure that your USB settings for the Ubuntu guest OS is similar to the following:
