How have you defined the share (service) in smb.conf? >From what you've posted, it looks to me like you've only mounted the drive such that it is visible to the machine hosting Samba, but not shared *through* Samba as a service. As a result, no one would be able to see it, because Samba isn't serving it up as a fileshare.
