Well, after some more black box testing, I found that the file that stopped xbmc from reading the directory through samba had the read-only flag set. Changing this flag however seemed to be troublesome. I was unable to do this, through the dos prompt with ATTRIB and had trouble doing it with Total Commander.
However, if I first changed the creation timestamp, then I could remove the read only flag. Later I found though, that if I just changed the timestamp, then that was sufficient for xbmc to read the directory with the files with the changed timestamp. The read only flag no longer had an influence. So whether the problem is ownership or a creation time stamp problem is still unclear. Maybe the changing of the creation time stamp, fixes the ownership at the same time, resulting in me being allowed the read only access.
Changing all timestamps to a current timestamp and setting all attributes to archive, seems to make xbmc work again with NAS BASIC 45 for most directories. Still fighting my music folder though...
Will keep you informed about this not so scientific approach.
