Thanks Simon
 
The problem was I was not specifying who was to own the folders when I
mounted them.   So adding uid=xxx and gid=yyy did the trick.   I can now
read and write to the directory as me (and not root) and this is confirmed
by
 
drwxr-xr-x  1 rob  users    0 Jan  2 18:37 abcd
 
To be honest, I'd not "cottoned on" that there are two users in play - the
one on the NAS who is given access and the one on the local box who owns the
share.
 
Thanks again.
 
Rob
