Success at last. Here is my /etc/fstab mount command.

/dev/sdb1
/media/wddrive ntfs
nls=iso8859-1,_netdev,umask=000,nodev,user,owner \
0 0

Here is my smb.conf:

[wddrive]
path = /media/wddrive
writeable = yes
; browseable = yes
valid users = BOBNOTEBOOK, Bob-PC, MARYNOTEBOOK, bob

I confess that I used Pysdm to configure /etc/fstab and system-config-samba for
smb.conf. Anyway it now works. What a task..........Thanks for all of the
replies.
