Can't access external USB hard disk

Description
Ubuntu 14.04 host, Windows 7 64 bit guest.
I have an IOMega USB hard drive connected through a USB hub to my computer.
- I connect it physically
- I connect it to the virtual machine by right-clicking on the devices icon and selecting it. It appears as connected
Expected result: after automatically installing drivers in the guest Windows system (if needed), the disk should be visible as a disk unit in Window's file explorer
Observed result:
- I hear Window's sound indicating that a device has been connected
- The first time that I do this, the drivers are installed
- then NOTHING happens
- the disk is not visible anywhere.
I'm almost sure this is a regression.
