I have a simple NAS setup in my house with pictures and videos I drag and drop from Windows 7 and OSX Snow Leopard. I have been using it for a year with both with no problems. I recently sold my Macbook and bought a new Macbook Pro. When I came to my new Macbook I noticed some folders on my NAS have a little red exclamation mark on it not allowing me access from OSX or windows.

I can only think that some how my old laptop gave it some permissions or something without me knowing? Can any one help me with how to change these permissions back or how not to let this happen again? I'm pretty computer savvy yet this just makes no sense to me at all!

I thought about doing the repair permissions but can't find the option to repair from a networked drive. Example: smb://nas1

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If this helps any
Rusty-Yows-MacBook-Pro:~ rustyyow$ ls -l /volumes
total 40
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 May 24 11:09 Macintosh HD -> /
drwxrwxrwx 10 rustyyow staff 16384 May 15 00:02 Volume_1-1

Again some folders on NAS1->Volume_1-1 work just fine only 2 or 3 have the denied permissions.
