 Could you be clearer about the error response you get? If I'm not
mistaken, the issue you're probably getting is that you cannot share
what does not belong to you (owner = your username). If you're getting
that, then it's a bug in how you mounted your fat32 volume, not in
nautilus-share. USB drives which are formatted using fat32 have a
uid=<your userid> argument passed in when mounted automatically in
Ubuntu, and these can be shared perfectly fine. I have not tested with
NTFS, but chances are that it is the same.
