This may be a failing power supply. The 6-drive legacy units' power supply has two 12V rails. One provides drive power, the other powers the motherboard. If the 12V rail that powers the drives was unable to handle the drive spin-up load, that would be the likely result. But you might occasionally get through spin-up, and things could work (for a time).
Fortunately, there is an easy fix because it's a standard (though not particulaly common) power supply form factor. You will find several threads in the forum about replacement options. You can also use a standard ATX supply externally to verify that a power supply replacement will solve your problem or to power the unit while you backup files if you don't plan to repair..
Due to age, many units of the same generaton as yours are needing power supply replacement. All things considered, they've lasted a good long while. I've had to replace the supply in two of mine and have replaced one for a friend as well.

I really apprreciate the replies - thx! I am now back from vacation, and need to get this fixed. The NAS is now up and running, but I guess it is just borrowed time...
I have looked around and cannot find a replacement PSU for my ReadyNAS Pioneer Pro, does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can find one? I would prefer not having to extend wires myself, since I am not very handy in that regard...

Newegg has the exact same supply (SeaSonic SS-300SFD) except it has the standard wiring instead of the special wiring for the NAS. It's as close as you can get. You can just buy a 6" 24-pin ATX extender and use it, then stuff the extra drive wire length into the chassis if you want. Just be sure not to block the fan's rotation.
