Can't share folder using Access Control Lists

Here is my situation:
I am working on a workgroup with three Win XP Pro machines
on it. On MACHINE ONE, we are trying to share a directory
but only with MACHINE TWO. MACHINE THREE should have no
access to this directory. We have turned off Simple File
Sharing, we added the user account from MACHINE TWO that
needs to remote access the directory onto MACHINE ONE.
Once I do that, I keep getting a message saying that I do
not have permission to view the directory, please check
with the administrator for assistance (which is me).
If I add EVERYONE back in, I can see the directory fine on
MACHINE TWO but the downside is it is now visible on all
machines which is not acceptable.
Any suggestions?
