#1992: Add user to vboxsf group to ease mounting of shared folders

 You can easily share folders between the guest and host system with
 VirtualBox with automatic mounting. I just tried it in osgeo-
 live-11.0-vm.vmdk and had no permissions to access the mounted directory.
 Simply adding the default user to the vboxsf group solves this.

 Please add the default user "user" to the group "vboxsf" to ease mounting
 of shared folders. I see no protentual issues.
