I have a Samsung LN52860. I had not thought to try directly connecting a USB hard drive... interesting. I'll check back to see if you get it to work.

One thing you could try if your set has DLNA like mine is connect the hard drive to a computer on your network, install the Samsung DLNA software, and access the content via the TV's DLNA source. Of course the TV has to be plugged into the network via its ethernet port. I haven't actually tried to see if it will map external drives connected to a computer but it does map internal drives just fine. It should work.
