It was permissions. When I changed over to a new NAS set up, I automounted the shared folder, and I thought it was fine, but in reality it was not as the permissions were set to root. Once I added a uid= and a gid= to the mount line in fstab it gave up root and now it works fine.. :) Had 3 months of tic files in my bad folder, thankfully I was able to toss all of them..
