It's likely that the Guest account you created is part of the Everyone group. When you removed "Allow Access" from the Guest account, you didn't functionally change anything. See, since Guest is a member of Everyone, Guest inherits its permissions from Everyone.
If you're going to do it this way, you need to specifically Deny access to Guest. If I remember correctly, Deny overrides Allow. So Guest will inherit Allow from the "Everyone" settings, then it will be Denied access from its own settings.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense.

Edit: Here's a picture. Change "Luke" to "Guest" in your case. Granted, this is from a Win2k box...but it should be more or less the same. You want to make sure the "Guest" permissions are highlighted up top, and that the "Modify" permissions are being denied to the Guest.
