I have some files that after updating to the latest firmware on my Pro Pioneer this evening which I can't access. In fact, I can't seem to write anything to that share from my Lion machine...

Yes, they were identical. When they don't match, it works.
In the past, when I created the users on the ReadyNAS, I made sure that the group UID and user UIDs were the same as they were on the mac. It worked before.
On my MBP, I could access the shares correctly. When I checked the UIDs, the MBP had a different UID than my other computer and the ReadyNAS.
I deleted my users on the ReadyNAS, re-created them--letting the ReadyNAS created the user's UID, and everything works perfectly.
Thanks!!
