Can you connect your USB disk to any PC. Make sure you do not format it. Then do a safe remove from the PC and connect it up to your NAS again and see if it then works.

Hmm, I thought btrfs wasn't working on USB drives in 6.4.0. Anyway, there is no way to get it to automount on 6.4.1. It will be supported in the next release, but that won't be coming very soon.

I get the same behaviour but the USB drive appears to be formatted as FAT32. At least when I plug it in to my laptop, it reports as FAT32.
Connecting this drive to my RN104 does nothing. There is no log saying anything is connected and the UI doesn't report a thing
Can I mount this via command line?

If you drive is not formatted with btrfs, then you have a different issue. Does your FAT32 USB drive have a partition table? Or is the filesystem written directly to the raw device? We currently only support external storage that has a valid partition table.
