Another update ---
I am able to at least access my local user share on the NAS now. I use the Caja File Manager in Linux Mint-13 and the Path to a local user's share via SMB needs to include the protocol. So this path works for me: smb://<nas name>/<user name>. That opens the user's private share in the file manager. Caja does not support NFS.
I will experiment with other Linux File Mangers to see of maybe one supports NFS to my liking. SMB gets me access to the share, but you don't retain file permissions.
