Maybe you're right. I don't know. I think enough to install the 
virtualbox-guest-additions (check this site: 
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/virtualbox-guest-additions/filelist). 
After instal I mount VBoxGuestAdditions.iso under /media/cdrom and run 
the "sh /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" command.
Then the vboxsf module is created and after reboot the VM is working 
correctly. (The Vbox ShareFolder is available).

It's not necessary. The share folder (original aim) is working.
