Then the file is owned by the "Nobody" user. The ID in your output shows this

My 2 computers are nearly identical and neither has a "Nobody" user. On
the 2nd computer I am able to access the same files on the NAS that I
cannot access on the 1st computer - and, I used to be able to access them
on the 1st computer but now I cannot.

Your answer therefore does not resolve my problem but I sincerely thank you
for trying. It is indeed a vexing situation (and one that I probably
caused in some way). Several weeks ago I was trying to make some system
changes and, lacking the use of gksudo in the 18.04 release, I tried using
"sudo -H nautilus. I managed to change the ownership of some files in my
home directory to root and was able to chown them back to user but thought
this might have changed more things than I was able to find. Perhaps one
day I'll reinstall Ubuntu 18.04 from scratch, which will no doubt solve my
problem...

If you unmount the NAS on both client computers, what output do you receive for the command

ls -ld /name/of/the/mount/point

If you do not know the name of the mount point, issue the command

mount

to show it.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong- this is the output of 'mount' when the
NAS is not mounted on either machine:

Sorry, it seems that my instructions were formulated in a misleading way.

To find out the mount point, you have to execute the "mount" command when the NAS is mounted.
To see the file/directory access settings, you have to execute the "ls -ld ..." command, when the NAS is not mounted.

So please issue the command "mount" to identify the mount point for the NAS, then unmount it, and finally issue the "ls -ld /mount/point" command to see the access rights.

I mounted the NAS in Nautilus, then entered the 'mount' command with this
result:

It seems that at the time of running the mount command the NAS was not mounted (or no more mounted).

How do you normally mount the NAS?

In Nautilus I clicked 'other locations' and then selected 'wdmycloud' (my
NAS) and entered the user/password info when asked. I then saved the
location as a bookmark in Nautilus. When I want to access the NAS I click
the bookmark. The bookmark looks like this:

afp://<email address hidden>/Lou/

I originally mounted to in Nautilus by selecting WDMyCloud from 'other
locations' and entering the necessary user/password. After AFP mounted the
NAS I saved the location as a bookmark and when I want to mount the NAS
again I click the bookmark. Bookmark looks like this:
afp://<email address hidden>/Lou/

Which output do you receive for the command

ls -l /media /mount /mnt

(preferably executed on both systems)?

First let me explain that the 'good' machine has only 1 user whereas the
'bad' machine has 2. Otherwise, no important differences. Both are
running xubuntu 18.04.1

The command you requested was run on both machines with NAS mounted by AFP

On the 'bad' machine:

ls: cannot access '/mount': No such file or directory
/media:
total 8
drwxr-x---+ 2 root root 4096 Feb 1 06:49 chris
drwxr-x---+ 2 root root 4096 Feb 1 10:18 lou

/mnt:
total 0

On the 'good machine;

ls: cannot access '/mount': No such file or directory
/media:
total 0

/mnt:
total 0

sorry for the delay - thank you for your efforts...

Sorry to be a bother - just wondering if you have given up on my problem,
I did as you asked and sent the results on 2/1/19.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.
