I'll have too look for other drivers on the osx side.
As for the ubuntu vm, after installing bfgminer things look more promising:
parallels@ubuntu:~/miners/bfgminer$ sudo ./bfgminer -d?
[2013-11-21 22:02:50] Started bfgminer 3.6.0
[2013-11-21 22:02:51] Devices detected:
[2013-11-21 22:02:51] Bitfury BF1 by BFMG (driver=bigpic; procs=1; serial=A49313136333516192D0; path=/dev/ttyACM0)
1 devices listed

I'll try and see if it works...
