You have to make sure that permissions on the Windows box allow the
user/password with which you mounted the drive to access the folder(s)
on the remote machine.  It sounds as if that's not the case.

On the Windows box, set the Administrator password (XP Pro), or make
sure your account has administrative rights (XP Home).

Then make sure that account--Administrator, or your account--has full
rights on all files/folders on the drive.  This is more problematic on
XP Home machines, since you don't have the full security model available
to you.
