Mapping usb drive with rdesktop to windows server/XP

I have read that the -r option with rdesktop allows you to map a local usb drive on a linux pc to a windows server or XP as follows:

rdesktop -r disk:usb=<path> <ipaddress>

I have arch installed with a base gnome so that usb drives are automatically mounted and unmounted when plugged in.

Locally I have made sure that the usb is being mounted properly.

But when I rdesktop into the windows pc and open windows explorer the usb drive appears as a network drive in the left window but no files appear in the right hand window.

Windows gives me a message that the resource is unavailable. Mu usb is formatted in FAT.

This occurs whether I use the dev address (/dev/sda1) for my usb drive or the mounted address (/media/usbstick) in the -r option.

Can anyone tell me why I am not seeing any files in windows on my usb stick?
