The problem is more than likely in how the windows shares are mounted when you 
are booted into KUbuntu.  More than likely only root has access to the 
non-native windows volumes you are mounting.  I wish off the top of my head I 
knew how to change this, but the best I could do was edit my fstab as 
follows:  (NOTE:  /dev/hda1 is my windows partitions):

/dev/hda1       /winxp          vfat    defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46   0   0

Putting this in your fstab may not be the best way to do it and I may be WAY 
off on answering your question, but I hope I'm helping some.  However, I do 
think that sharing the Windows partitions can be done via SAMBA, unless maybe 
they're NTFS, then I'm not sure.
