I'm working on a Raspberry Pi B+ with Raspbian Jessie. As far as I can tell, the drive is mounted read/write, but there's some kind of problem with where my Samba share is pointing to the mount point or folder on it, because when I try to access the share from a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine, I can't see the contents of the share. I can see the shares, and I can try to authenticate, but I'm not sure if authentication is working.
I remember having problems doing this on Raspbian Wheezy, and I think ultimately I had to use UUIDs in the fstab file and set some permissions there or something. Since I needed to do a whole bunch of work to this pi for other reasons, I upgraded to Jessie. I can't find postings or questions where I asked about this before, so it must have been via chat or in person.
I'm more of a Windows user and have very little experience with Linux. Most of it is aggravating people here on Stack Exchange where I am trying to follow instructions I found elsewhere.
The Samba log file for the machine I'm trying to connect from says:

You'll note the timestamps are hours old. I have no newer entries in that log file.
