In your setup notes you say:

"If this is not specified, vboxwebsrv will run on 127.0.0.1, which is not accessible outside of itself."

I've just done a clean install of virtualbox 4.1.18 on Debian testing and by default vboxwebsrv listens on the IPv6 localhost and not IPv4 so when starting it you need to specify --host 127.0.0.1
