O.K. I just had a quick look at your logs and I think I found the problem.
Whilst you don't have 4k sector alignment, you're using 512-byte drives, I think so this shouldn't be an issue.
However the diagnostics.log flagged a problem with the memory (RAM). It's possible there may have been some data corruption of the data on the NAS.
Though memory upgrades are not supported, in your case on an out of warranty system, replacing the memory with a 1GB module would be the way to go. Look for memory that matches the specs of your current one including the physical layout. Note that not all memory modules work and newer revisions of some modules that have worked previously no longer work. These newer revisions often have the same module name. Be sure to run the memory test (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/hardware/is_there_a_way_i_can_verify_if_my_memory_is_good) at least twice before trusting the memory.
You want memory that matches the specs of your current module.
