S-P has written many addons which create and use the webroot share, all implemented using the same technique and never by updating the Shares.conf file directly (this file is well known to be written to directly by the firmware).
Read back on this thread and you will also see that this issue has been reported with addons that were last updated many months ago, prior to the release of 4.2.19, and the issue has only been reported by those users who have updated to 4.2.19.
It is all correct. Something has changed in 4.2.19. I try to find reason of problem. I try to help S-P and Netgear community. I'm sorry if I have offended.
I think it is usual compatibility problem.

Therefore the only common variable is the 4.2.19 firmware; something in this release has changed and somehow corrupts the Shares.conf file and the onus should now be on Netgear to fix this as S-P has already stated
I do not know anything about writing add-on for ReadyNas, but there are 2 variants:
1) If add-on use well documented API for creating share, then Netgear should to fix problem.
2) If add-on use some hack or reverse-engeneering information, then S-P should to fix problem. In this case it will be good if Netgear give us some good well-documented API. In any case it is strange for me that there are not any information about webroot in Frontview list of common shares.
