Compton not loading/detecting vboxvideo

I'm running Arch as a guest OS, when I try to enable Compton as the compositor for Xmonad I get the following error:

~ » compton --vsync opengl --backend glx                                                                                                          mo@localhost[95%]
libGL error: failed to authenticate magic 2
libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo

dmesg and ls mode both show that vboxvideo has loaded correctly though...

~ » dmesg | grep -i vboxvideo                                                                                                                     mo@localhost[95%]

vboxsf                 34614  0 
vboxguest             186778  2 vboxsf

Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on?
