How did you map the drive? Did you use the correct user credentials?
StephenB, this mighty be poor terminology on my part.
When I accessed the ReadyNas from the users pc I right clicked on the folder in question and selected the map drive option. This then created a shortcut in their drive list.

Are you using Active Directory or local NAS accounts?
Assuming you are using local accounts:
Try running the cmd prompt on the PC. Then enter
net use * /delete /y net use t: \\nas-ip-address\sharename /user:nas-username nas-password
use real values for nas-ip-address, sharename, nas-username, nas-password
That should mount the share as drive letter T. Then see if you have access.
