If I had to guess I would say you need to have higher privileges to read/write to that directory.

That would be my guess based on the little information visible in the error box.

If I got it right what You are trying to do is to RECORD an ISO file to a CD/DVD. If that's correct, the VBox function that You are using has not this purpose. What it does is to assign a Virtual Disk to the specified image, within the selected guest machine. That's all. What you need is a CD/DVD recording software, such as Brasero.
