On the original clock issue, the NAS should have adjusted the time automatically via NTP. Were you using a static IP address?
Thanks for the advice, StephenB!
Yes, the NAS has a static IP address. When I first discovered the clock as the source of that particular problem, I tried to use NTP, but was unable to reach any NTP servers -- I believe because the NAS is not directly connected to the Internet (and can't be due to circumstances outside of my control in the office). It just connects to a Netgear 5-port Ethernet Switch (GS605NA). The Macs that connect to the NAS through the switch use WiFi for Internet access. I initially mentioned the clock issue because I have a suspicion that a bad component (maybe a weak internal battery?) caused the clock to slip.
I don't have any spare disks to test with at the moment, but I can ask around or bring something from home tomorrow.
