theeleaper,

So the problem is with Samba? if it is, see this post for a working Samba config:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?8,23223,23293#msg-23293

I would suggest that when you need help with any problem, be very wordy :) give a lot details, as much as you can. And post a log of what you trying to do.

The reason you can't share because of the security 
security = share

Change your smb.conf to this one. 

[global]
	log level = 0
	log file = /tmp/%m.log
	guest account = root
	load printers = no
	socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE
	#wins server = 192.168.1.1
	map to guest = Bad User
	netbios name = POGOPLUG
	write cache size = 2097152
	server string = POGOPLUG
	printing = bsd
	workgroup = WORKGROUP
	os level = 20
	use sendfile = yes
	printcap name = /dev/null
	security = user
	disable spoolss = yes
	#max log size = 50

 #unprotected/public share without login
 
[root$]
  path = /
  read only = no
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  guest ok = yes

[usb]
  path = /media/usb/share
  read only = no
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  guest ok = yes

sounds like you didn't restart samba service. Anyway just restart you device and PC and check if it works. In order to restart Samba you need to run the following command
for systemd 
systemctl smbd restart

for initd 
service samba restart
