I'm having this problem also. 

 

Everytime I run the command "yamj-rescan", I have to follow it with "chown -R admin:user /mnt/user/NAME_OF_SHARE/Jukebox" before I can delete or overwrite the movie poster with some other picture I like better.  Replace NAME_OF_SHARE with the name of your share folder.  Maybe that will help you.

I had a similar problem - media I would transfer to unRAID was invisible to my Dune, and I constantly had to run Change Permissions.

 

I realized it was because I was mapping to the share as "root" on my PC, and therefore only root owned the files.  I changed the map to "nobody", with no password, and that seems to have worked.
