I think I've figured it out...

I discovered the same type of problem when I tried to put a symlink in my
www folder for apache. Apparently the mount point for /media/Share gave me
read/write access, but no one else. I had assumed that if I set
/media/Share/Music to give "others" read only, that this would override the
parent folder's permissions, but apparently that's not the case. I set the
parent folder to give read only permission to "others", and that seems to
have done the trick.

Chalk that one up to me being a Linux noob.

Again, thank you!
