I have found a workaround for this, but it is still an issue in that it does not work as one would expect out of the proverbial box.

Here are the things I needed on the 12.04 LiveCD:

1. Install Samba via Dolphin (right-click a folder, then Properties, then the Share tab)
2. Created a lesser user
This was simply a security precaution so my main user account password with sudo capability isn't saved on some smb-capable devices where it would be in plaintext. You may also be able to do this just by "sudo smbpasswd -a user" rather than creating an entire user account.
3. Logged in as user in order to create a password properly
4. Install NTFS-config (sudo apt-get ntfs-config)
5. "Sudo NTFS-config" and configure
6. "Sudo Dolphin" to share the folder, giving user full control.
7. "Sudo service smbd restart"
