If the drive on the XP machine is formatted as NTFS then you will have to deal with the file system permissions as well as the share permissions. To avoid confusion, I typically set the share permissions to Everyone Full Control and then use the file system permissions to control access since they are more granular. As soon as I can get to an XP machine, I'll follow up with some more detailed information about setting permissions recursively through the directory levels.
