Hi - thanks for the reply
I worked out the problem. When I was trying to hide the share from view I played around with some the other CIFS options/settings first which I then reset, but I had not noticed that this also disabled the rync settings on the main NAS for that share (ie allowing the 2nd NAS to have access). Have reset that and left the hidden option on and it now works again.
