Like I said, chown -R 777 *

Perhaps you set the folder to 777, but not the files inside it.

You've racked your brains and been up all night
Take a deep breath and wipe away the sweat,
Login as web admin and try a factory reset!

To be honest now, I'm now not sure what happened.  I managed to borrow a couple of SATA drives to try to replicate the problem, and of course I could not. 

I Just could not replicate the same conditions.  For example I could not get to a state where I could add a file or directory, but then could not delete it.  All I could manage to do was to have no ability to do anything other than read it, which is what should happen.  I didn't even try creating the situation where I had full access if it was mapped to a drive letter, but had problems if it was referenced by the UNC name.

As soon as I experienced unexpainable symptoms, I should have reset to defaults and reboot the NAS.  After reading the forums that solution seems to fix a lot of problems. :)
