samba: not permitted to access second mounted harddrive

i want to set up a samba server so that the windows machine can acess a second harddrive on the linux machine
fstab

/dev/discs/disc1/part1 /home/will/files vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0

smb.conf

[files]
    path = /home/will/files
    comment = second harddrive

while i can can acess the files as expect on the linux box, though any samba browser i am denied
i can acess all other shared directories

 16:28:34 [~] $ ls -l | grep file
drwxr-xr-x   2 will users    4096 2004-07-05 12:14 files
16:28:37 [~] $ mount files
16:28:39 [~] $ ls -l | grep file
drwxr--r--  13 will users   32768 1969-12-31 19:00 files

the folder permissions change after its mounted -- thats suppose to happen though, right?

have i configure something wrong?

thanks in advance
