I know this is trivial, but did they logout the user(s) after adding 
them to the vboxusers group ?

Citing the VirtualBox User Manual:
"The group vboxusers will be created during installation. Note that a 
user who is going to run VirtualBox must be member of that group. Also 
note that adding an active user to that group may require a restart of 
the session of that user. This should be done manually after successful 
installation of the package."
