Can't mount shared folder from fstab

Description
I an Arch Linux guest on a MacOS install of VirtualBox. I mount the shared folder using the following line in my Arch installation's fstab file:
archway /home/josh/archway vboxsf uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
Recently Arch began booting into emergency mode with the error:
vboxsf: Old binary mount data not supported, remove obsolete mount.vboxsf and/or update your VBoxService.
This is the same issue described by a user on the Arch Linux forums: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/58272
Commenting out the aforementioned line in the fstab file allows the guest to boot normally, but this is not a desirable fix.

I will comment here to save creating an account on the Arch bugtracker. If you use our Additions then you will get our kernel modules and our user-space binaries, which work together. However if you try to use our user-space binaries with the in-kernel modules you will get this. Removing mount.vboxsf should fix this particular issue. Hans made quite a few adjustments and fixes when he upstreamed in particular the shared folder module to the kernel which we currently do not have the developer capacity to re-integrate. By the way, volunteers are welcome (ping us on vbox-dev).
