I have mounted a drive from my DLINK DNS 320 Nas onto my Mac Mini 10.9 via AFP. One of the subfolders where I usually store photos (named '2013') is currently showing restricted access permissions, and wont let me copy any more photos onto it. All the other subfolders have mode 777 and allow read/write:
drwxrwxrwx 1 john staff 568 Apr 6 2012 2010
drwxrwxrwx 1 john staff 738 Apr 6 2012 2011
drwxrwxrwx 1 john staff 636 Oct 10 10:11 2012
drwxr-xr-x 1 john staff 466 Dec 2 11:00 2013
I tried to change the mode of the 2013 folder by doing:
sudo chmod -R a+rwx /Volumes/Volume_1/photos/2013
but the operation was not permitted. How can I make the 2013 folder writeable again?

? Is that your OS X account name? And how is the drive formatted? – Arjan – 2015-06-13T14:10:50.973Possibly related: chown: changing ownership not permitted, even though running as root and Can't change permission/ownership/group of external hard drive on Ubuntu.

@harrymc I'm not sure how you justify the charge that I don't react to answers... This is the only question of mine I have not followed up on, as I have not had time to fully test the proposed answers. The bounty doesn't even expire for another day. – Black – 2015-06-18T01:55:36.860
Finding the correct solution to the problem may take several iterations, so your take on the answers is vital for refining and improving. Too many posts in this forum remain without a validated solution because of missing feedback from the poster. – harrymc – 2015-06-18T06:42:10.743
