New user : No write access to USB drive

[nick4]

I reformatted the drive to exFat. This had no change, when I ran mount on the pi, it showed "rw" but I couldn't write to it from my Mac.

However, I did a full update to Xbian, and there was an update for the Samba package. Installed that, rebooted and now everything works as it should. So whatever was in that update fixed my problem at least.

So as of now, I have full read/write to the external drive. Thanks for all the replies, hopefully this will help someone else out.
