The iphone won't work because it needs "home sharing" to access your library and apple keeps that protocol secret. So the linux development community can't provide that feature in their itunes servers. You can use ReadyDLNA or Plex on the NAS - there are apps for the phone that will play your media using DLNA. AVPlayerHD also works (using FTP) and is perhaps better for video files. But you can't render with the built-in music or video players.
The server is working for me (also running 6.2.2) when I open the library with the Windows iTune (12.0.1) - clicking on the music library icon on the upper left, and selecting the RN102 music library. Are you using the default permissions for the share?
Another option (perhaps ok, given that the itunes server won't connect to your iphone anyway) is to store the media on the NAS, but keep the library itself on your macbooks.
