Chris,
The community will I am sure have opinions on this, but here is what I did:
I checked the processes on the RP and found:
563 root 20 0 4436 3264 2136 S 1.7 0.3 0:11.41 albumthumbnail.
which tells me that the process that need access is owned by root.
To allow root access to the server from the RP, I changed /etc/exports:
/home/bnilsson/Musik HiFiBerryDigiLAN(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
The "no_root_squash" option allows root on the RP to act as root on the server. This sounds dangerous, and it probably is.
Restart the nfs server by "/ect/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart".
Reboot the RP.
Now the thumbnails can be rebuilt.
it is probably a good idea to remove the "no_root_squash" option in /etc/exports when all is over and done.
PS: The new thumbnail files (cover.jbp, coverart.jpg, and thumb.jpg) created by Rune are owned by root.
To do a final cleanup, I changed the ownership of all files in my Music storage to myself.
