At the moment I have no idea what happened, but I can make contact to my external drive again using Grsync. Maybe I just had to restart the computer for whatever reason.

Hi Habana, yes I know how to use Grsync, have been using it for years, but with a locally connected drive. I's just that niw, with the disk connected to the router I get these permission deny errors.

I mounted the disk in fstab, I used this line for it:
