Not really sure what was giving me a problem changing the SMB share. I think it was a permissions issue.

Anyway changing the "Pictures" share (SMB) is very simple.

In the folder /etc/samba you will find a file called smb.conf. We need to edit this.

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Scroll down to the end of the file and your will find a section called [Pictures]
modify it to contain your new path: path = /media/stellarmate/data/Pictures

^X Y to save the file

Now we need to restart samba:
sudo smbcontrol smbd reload-config

Now you should be able to view the Pictures folder on your Mac or PC.
