Vmware Horizon to Vcenter

I currently have an environment that involves using teradici thin clients to connect to a horizon view broker.  On the vm that is displayed to the end user there is the vcenter client installed, as well as its accessible from the web interface.  Vcenter is installed on esxi 5.1 with vcenter 5.5.  I need the end user to be able to plug a usb flash drive into the teradici thinstation, then mount it to a vm in vsphere through the brokered vm.  The usb redirection to the brokered vm is working, but im unable to attach the flash drive to the second vm through vcenter.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

The broker is unable to redirect that USB device to a second VM.  It only works for the brokered VM.  Alternatively you can create an ISO of the USB device and mount that or attach the USB to the ESXi host then attach it to the VM using pass through.
