Readynas DUO v2 - Lost access to files

Just recently bought a readynas duo V2, mainly as a mediacenter solution for my mac. I'm a IT Tech myself and have experience with NAS from before. but this NAS is bugging me with super annoying permission problems that I don't understand.... This should be super simple but it's not... 1. When I use transmission on torrents, only transmission can do "cleanup files and delete data". When i map \\192.168.115.134 and try to move or delete files, I get an error that sais I'm not permitted to do so. That means i have to COPY, files over to the right folders to rename - then use transmission to delete.... this is after what I see a common problem 2. I've copied a lot of music from this computer to the NAS into the media/music folder. I thought then about to rename them, and put them in right folders, to make the filestructure good to PLEX mediacenter. I get another error message on MOST of the files that sais that I need to make user "NAS/Nobody" permitted to do this... that's some of the funny part. not all files is involved here - even that all files were dumped in one copy-paste operation on the NAS. - I have a compatible Harddrive on the NAS. - Have tried a factory default - have tried SSH PUTTY CHOWN on the media folder before factory default - in the interface "Everyone" is permitted to Write/read. - I can't change ownership through windows 7->security->advanced->owner->local user. - I have tried to connect to the share in different ways, through different users. What the heck is wrong with this box? I'm only gonna use it for the SIMPLEST thing ever which is filesharing to my home network... :roll: any tips before I throw this thing out of the window, and return all 5 I ordered to our store to my distributor? I've NEVER experienced such behaviour with either Synology or even D-link. Are NetGear experienced enough to deliver NAS solutions...? Sorry for being angry - but I've wasted 20hours of my life now on this. :cry:
