Samba share not found?

I have an external usb hard drive that i used on a windows computer.
When I had it, I did not have a linux computer, and therefore just accepted to format it as the default NTFS file system.
Now, a year later, I wish to attatch it to my linux computer.
I have succeeded in connecting it to the computer and mounting the drive just fine with:
mount -t ntfs -o rw,umask=022 /dev/sda1 /media/usbhdd
I can access all of the files on my linux system now in read/write mode.
That works great.
The problem I have is that I later setup a samba share for the drive in my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
[usbdrive] comment = USB Drive writable = yes browsable = yes path = /media/usbhdd
Samba works fine. I am browsing, reading and writing fine to my /home/john folder, which samba adds by default for each user who logs in:
[homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes writable = yes create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775
The masks are said to only set the mask on newly created items, and not to affect accessibility to the main directory.
Through my Windows XP laptop, I can access \\linuxcomputer\john directory fine, but when I attempt to double click on the \\linuxcomputer\usbdrive directory, it gives me an error:
www server(Samba 3.0.1a-Debian) (linuxcomputer)
\\linuxcomputer\usbdrive is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found.
Is there something that I am doing wrong? .
