Same problem here.
Amiko A3 running Jellybean 4.2.2. I can access the drive using any other file explorer, but I can't add the location as a source inside of Kodi 14.2 (ARM).
As others have stated, this seems to be an issue that many search for

mhalfadl might have the answer for you in this post.
I did something similar:
- System -> File Manager -> Add Source
- Browse to Root File System -> /storage -> /external_storage -> /hdx
Now I have hdx listed in the sources and could easily select it to add videos / music.
