Currently vboxtool is single-user. But there are setups where couple of virtualbox guests are running from different user accounts.

The solution in general is to specify the user for each vbox in some way.

This could be done in many ways, i.e:
(1) change machines.conf file format and include there a username for each machine (btw the format is definetly unflexible);
(2) get user from 'owner' field of someMashine.xml file (or some another file or dir);
(3) add special field to machine xml config file (how VBoxManage will treat this? I don't know for now..)
(4) ... and many other options.

    Multiple users for different sessions is not common. Degrading priority to 2.
