I'm not sure what you mean about RAMname and NASName

  RAMname = os.path.join("/run/shm", fname)
  NASname = os.path.join("/mnt/CCTV/PiZero" , fname)

Oops it was a typo, and is and should be PiZero

On my Ubuntu machine I open file manager or whatever it is called, the
other locations and smb to my NAS box. From there I select the dataset
or folder, which in this case is PiZero. When I have finished doing what
I want I then close down file manager. So I view my NAS box in file manager
