Are Parallels tools installed?

What happens when you directly connect them?
This is a guess, but worth a try.
When you boot up your MAC it sees and connects to these USB devices. Once you start up your windows VM, the devices are already in use by the MAC.
To make the Windows VM see them, either turn off the USB device, and then turn it back on....or, disconnect the USB cable and then plug it back in.
XP should give you the "found new hardware message" unless it already has the drivers.

Isolating variables, yes.
USB device in use
Hi,
I have same issue, whatever USB device I connect (plantronics, disk, etc) I get
a message like:
USB device you are trying to connect to the virtual machine is being used by another process. Wait 5-10 seconds, then try to connect the device again. If this does not help, find the application that blocked up the device and disconnect it manually.
I don't (as much as I know) any program using the device.
I tried unplug-plug again, without luck.
Also I de-installed Parallel tools and installed back just in case.
I'm running Windows XP SP 2.
Any idea ?
THanks
