VirtualBox: modprobe can't find vboxguest, vboxsf, vboxvideo
I had the exact same problem when i was trying to install arch on virtualbox earlier today. The solution is to run depmod
$ depmod 3.14.4-1-ARCH
After running modprobe again, it should work.
You can use uname -r
to find your kernel version string.

I found this thread that sounds like your issue. Titled: Virtualbox guest module doesn't load.
excerpt
Do you have the official virtualbox guest additions installed? You shouldn't do that. If so uninstall them and then install the package
$ sudo pacman -S virtualbox-archlinux-additions $ sudo pacman -Qs virtualbox
should give:
local/virtualbox-archlinux-additions 4.1.8-2 local/virtualbox-archlinux-modules 4.1.8-3

UPDATE #1
Per a comment left by @DavidGrayson the package names may have changed. So try these instead if the above do not work:
$ sudo pacman -S virtualbox-guest-modules-arch virtualbox-guest-utils
