Here's something that might help:
NAT host port 2222 to ssh (22) in virtual machine 'psyche'.
Do this while the VM isn't running.
$ VBoxManage setextradata psyche \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/Protocol" TCP
$ VBoxManage setextradata psyche \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/GuestPort" 22
$ VBoxManage setextradata psyche \
"VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/HostPort" 2222
Now you can just 'ssh -p 2222 localhost' to get into that particular
VM.
I'd also like to say thanks for the port! It's *very* useful!
