You could try renaming the users then renaming them back.
If that does not resolve it perhaps try 6.4.2 Beta?: ReadyNASOS 6.4.2-T59 (Beta 1)Did you change the NAS hostname a while back?

Created a new user, in same group. smbclient test worked fine with them. Looked at passwd entry, homedir permissions, etc and can't really see any particular difference between them. Well, except for one thing that I noticed earlier but now realize is a difference between the users...
The is an /etc/samba/smbpasswd file that hasn't been touched since 2014 and has encrypted passwords for some but not all users. I'll try taking the "problem" user's entry out of there and see if that helps (after taking a backup of course). ;)
