I was goin to say 'right click the folder in Nautilus, click Sharing
options'. However, when I clicked create share I got the error: 

'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare
directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator
to grant you permissions to create a share.

Working for anyone else?

The manual way is to add an entry to /etc/samba/smb.conf, something like

[nameofshare]
   comment = Something descriptive
   path = /home/me/stuff
   guest ok = no
   read only = yes

> PS did anyone else find the permissions for sudo were set wrong?

Nope
