I have a share permissions issue that I simply cannot make sense of.

I have a user named hanness that is a part of the administrators group. If I share a folder with hanness, I can access the share with no difficulties. However, if I share a folder with the administrators group rather than the actual user name, then I can no longer access that share.

Can anyone help me to understand this behavior?

Seriously, though, Are you sharing it with the Administrators group, then try running you file manager as admin to see if it can then see it or not.
