This 2was resolved by uninstalling and re-installing the "Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack"

Download the pack for your version from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/ then:

VBoxManage extpack uninstall "Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack"
VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.10-84104.vbox-extpack
