I just set up NFS on my Synology. My OpenElec system has no problem accessing the files. I set up Raspbmc and was having troubles with a few folders/files. Turns out that those specific files were created by Sickbeard and did not have guest access turned on like the others.
Openelec runs as root, which seems to let it have NFS access to all the shared files.
Raspbmc runs as pi. But I'm not sure I can create a Pi account with a correlating UID on Synology, since NFS uses UID for permissions.
Other than giving guest access to all my shares, is there a better solution?

I guess there is an issue with the 'insecure' setting since that is supposed to prevent this problem. I'll have to try again.

Nope insecure is about allowing access from unprivileged ports. It is not ment to fix your filesystem permissions. Read the NFS wiki - you need to map all accesses to a known uid and make sure your export has the rights for this uid applied recursivly.

I have no synology. I can tell you that squash_all and anonuid, anongid is the thing you need to do. Only one anonuid,gid is possible on normal linux nfs servers.
