More so now.

As far as your two users' IDs and groups goes, they look fine. You're
both 1000 on your personal machines and aren't running as a mix of real
and effective users. (Being the same does cause problems when wanting
to shares common file storage though.)

It's clear that directory ‘web’ offers no access permissions to user,
group, or other, the `---------' versus ‘videos’ `rwxrwxrwx' above it.
And getfacl backs that up and confirms there's no Linux ACL in play
separate to the normal file permissions.

Whereas for SWMBO, web matches video. It's odd that the NAS is serving
different data to each machine. Is the entry in each /etc/fstab the
same? What's the output of this on both machines?
awk '$2 == "/media/nas"' /proc/mounts
You mentioned directory ‘Ryan’ was also blocked for you. That's because
it offers no permissions to other,
> drwxrwx--- 4 65534 4294967294 4096 Dec 10 19:54 Ryan
And since you're not user 65534 or group 4294967294, the traditional NFS
‘nobody’ users, you are checked against other.
You could try adding ‘noacl’ to the options in both /etc/fstabs for
/media/nas and then unmounting and mounting, but I don't think that
would help. It seems more likely that the NAS is doing unwanted
fiddling, perhaps based on client IP address, and serving up different
results. You need to poke about its GUI and beat it into shape.
(Ideally, you'd coordinate user and group IDs across all client machines
and the server and then you could access them using the matching user or
group permissions instead of other.)
