Thank you for that script. I am very command line savvy so I looked it over and ran it.
It worked superbly. I am very thankful for your noticing my plaintive plea, recognizing the problem and pointing me to that script.

Hi greg_t,
It is most likely one of the configs on the NAS got corrupted which caused the issue.
The readynasd keeps a copy of configs in the database but it imports every time at the start of readynasd. What most likely happened is when the NAS rebooted, the readynasd tried reading those config files where it imports from and it had no data on the files, so it has nothing to show. This also means that it can't update the Shares.conf file which contains all the shares, making file explorer show you all the shares that were there before the readynasd configs were emptied
