Fusion 6, USB 3.0 and WD My Passport Ultra 1 TB...FAIL!

Has anyone found a verified fix to get a Western Digital My Passport Ultra 1TB USB 3.0 drive working with VMware Fusion 6?  I know it's problem or fault with VMware Fusion because it works fine in VMware Workstation 10.  As a heavily vested VMware shop this is very disappointing.

 

History

Built brand new Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 7 x64 virtual machine and performed all Microsoft Updates using VMware Fusion 6.0.3 and OS X 10.9.2 with Late 2012 13" MacBook Pro Retina.

 

Problem

Connected Western Digital My Passport Ultra 1TB USB 3.0 drive to newly built VM.  Receive the following error:

 

The device "(Western Digital My Passport 0741)" was unable to connect to its ideal host controller.

Solution (i.e., Not Really A Solution)

Use VMware Workstation 10 on hp Elite 8300 workstation running Windows 7 Professional x64.  No problems encountered.

 

If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this very annoying VMware Fusion and USB 3.0 issue I'd greatly appreciate it.
