NTFS Samba Shares

[Michael]

My last hurdle in the effort to make a complete switch from Windows to
Ubuntu is one that I'm finding myself unable to leap.

I have an NTFS formatted drive I use to store media. This media was
previously shared via Windows SMB with Xbox's modified to run Xbox Media
Center. My previous attempts at sharing the Media drive have worked to some
extent. I am able to mount the NTFS drive and play its contents in Ubuntu. I
am also able to mount the drive R/W. When I enable Samba sharing on the
drive the XMBC can see it, but only top level shared folders.

The media is nested as follows:
Media Drive(hdd5)/Albums/Genres/Artist/Album/media.mp3

Any folder that I mark as shared via the right-click menu is visible in
XBMC, however its contents can not be seen and and error is returned (share
not available).

I have not done any fine tuning of SMB as I'm not sure how to go about this
without without destroying my entire install. So any help is appreciated.



Here is a diagram of my current network config along with each devices
network IP:
