1st - make sure SAMBA is installed
2nd- if you can't write onto the hdd attached to your Pi from your pc:
--> sudo nano /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf check for SMBSHARE= is two lines about SMB make sure the answer is yes (SMBSHARE= yes) for both lines.

let me know

Hey I am new to Xbian, been using Raspbmc for over a year and decided to give Xbian a try after running into a few issues with Rasp.

Anyhow, I am having the same problem. I can see the USB drive attached to the Pi on my Mac, but i can't write to the drive. I checked the usbmount.conf as you recommended and both lines regarding SMB are set to "yes". Not sure where to go from here.

Thanks!
