[Samba] Sharing a Secondary Hard Drive

I installed a second hard drive on my Samba server box with the hopes of  
creating a share for the rest of my home network. It doesn't seem like  
Samba is able to read the drive for some reason, however. The new drive is  
mounted on /media/public. When I create a share directly to the drive and  
try to connect through the smbclient, I get an NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME  
error. Moving the share up a level to /media allows smbclient to connect,  
but the public folder does not even appear and trying to cd into it  
returns an NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED message. The drive itself seems fine as  
I'm able to write to it using any of my accounts directly and I can ftp  
and scp into it, so I am completely stumped. Does any one else have any  
experience with this or know what may be the cause? I'm running Fedora  
Core 4 by the way, if that helps.

Thanks in advance,
Justin McCullough
