  Let's see if I have this right...
  - the Windows XP machine is connected to the Gentoo machine
  - the Gentoo machine is connected to the external USB
  - the kneebone is connected to the legbone<g>

  I'm not familiar with samba, but the first question that comes to mind
is whether the XP machine has write access to the mountpoints.  Try the
following...
  - unmount the external USB drive
  - can the XP machine write to the directories /usb1 and /usb2?
