I recently had to put security on my NAS volumes. The user that accesses the NAS has complete read/write access to the complete volume. I can access the volume and folders perfectly fine from the PC.
\\dns-323\volume_1\_video\tvseries
However, when I put that folder into Subsonic, it reports the folder is not available.
Any suggestions on this?

Have you given the user a/c that SS is running under R/W access?

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.

The user on the PC is cliff. The user that accesses the NAS is also cliff. That user has full access to the volume when using Windows Explorer.

I would suggest that you read my reply again 
The SS service does not run as a normal user but under local system a/c which does not (by default) have R/W access to network shares under Windows.
If you are running under another OS then I suggest you read viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5506

I thought it might be something like that.
Can I configure the SS user to have access? Can I find out what the SS service user is and give it access?
Or, to put it another way; is there any way to get my tv and movies back into SS while leaving the security in place?

Just change the a/c that SS is running under to another which does have R/W access eg your user a/c.
I would suggest not changing the default system a/c privileges as that could/will have security implications for the whole pc.
As this is a bit more complicated I would suggest using Google to do a bit of research as the the answer varies a bit depending on your os version eg Xp, Vista, 7 etc.

Actually, once I took a look at the service it was pretty straightforward.
I created a SubSonic user in Windows. I created a subsonic user on my NAS. I then gave Nas-subsonic user the correct access.
I change the local access account in the service to the windows subsonic account. Everything is great.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, much appreciated.
