seams vbox plugins is out of date

a workaround:
modify /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/VMBuilder/plugins/virtualbox/vm.py
make the register_options method like this.

    def register_options(self):
        group = self.setting_group('VirtualBox options')
        group.add_setting('vbox-disk-format', metavar='FORMAT', default='vdi', help='Desired disk format. Valid options are: vdi vmdk. [default: %default]')
        #self.context.register_setting_group(group)
