 The whole purpose of this exercise was to STOP writing to the SD card
at all.

 The version of the script using RAMname for the capture is supposed to
store the file IN RAM, and then use copyfile() to move it from RAM to the
NAS (followed by .unlink() to delete the copy left in RAM).

 With the capture specified as NASname, the file should never be on the
RPi physically (not in RAM, not in SD card), but is supposed to go directly
to the NAS.
