Seems like you are using a samba share on the NAS from an ubuntu client, right?
Since you are on Linux, why use samba (windows style) when NFS is so much
simpler to use?

This is how I connect an NFS share on my Synology NAS inside /etc/fstab:

192.168.129.178:/volume1/VIDEO /mnt/nas nfs tcp,noexec,intr 0 0
