Thanks for the above and I tried the said sudo mount line, and it didn't
complain after it was run.

Now if I do:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ echo "hello" > /mnt/CCTV/test.txt

It gets created in the PiZero CCTV folder

Now if I do:
echo "hello" > /mnt/CCTV/PiZero/test.txt

It doesn't get created, even tho' there was no follow up message about
denied permission.

Aah , but it did get created on the NAS box PiZero folder.

And now , guess what!, it is working great! The video files are
transferred/ moved or created on the NAS box PiZero folder.

Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to find the
information and the above help.
