Thanks both for your quick responses. I managed to solve in the end by specifying the NFS version (using "mount -t nfs -o mountvers=3 ...") seems ubuntu & the NAS can't decide to play nicely without you explicitly telling them which version to use.

Yeah, that's what I meant by manually. Try it with the -v (verbose) option and see if you get a more useful error message. Maybe try ro instead of defaults and see if that makes a difference.
If all else fails, try removing and then restoring NFS access to the share on the NAS or even disabling and re-enabling NFS all together.

Thanks for posting the solution for anyone else having a similar issue.
Since it originally worked and there have been no updates for your ReadyNAS in quite a while, that must be a new feature of Ubuntu. Maybe the beginning of depreciation of older versions of NFS for security reasons. Depreciation of "insecure" protocols is likely to continue to be a problem with the older ReadyNAS.
