MDGM - You were correct,the first drive which reported errors was fine. I performed a thorough analysis on it, twice and no errors were reported. The second disk that went bad during the sync was the problem.

The NAS while in debug mode does not give directory sizes.
personally, i think this was OS BUG. The Netgear support charge for data recovery was well worth it
