Share Folder on Mountain Lion has -1 behind name

I have a mac mini running Mountain Lion that I have been sharing a folder from.  I took it out from sharing and then reshared it, the name of the folder is Media, normally it shows up as a shared folder called Media, but for some reason it shows up in every Mac as Media-1 , there is no other share called Media (which would cause this) nor a folder with the same name on the same drive, I can't figure this one out.

I did that and it did not work.  I renamed the share to Music and it appears fine.  I disabled sharing and renamed it to Media and the share still comes up as Media-1, so I've put it back to Music for now
The issue lies on the client computers (the ones trying to access the Media folder)  .. not the host computer (the one sharing the Media folder).

Did you disable sharing and check all the client computers?
