I'm sorry for asking what I'm sure is a really dumb question, but I'm stumped.
I followed the how-to video on setting up Plex Media Server on my FreeNAS 9.2.1.8 64-bit setup. I followed it exactly with these exceptions:
I searched the forum before posting, but the closest post I could find to my problem was this one. I tried the solution posted there. I opened a console on the jail and added my "awensley" user and "users" group with the same IDs, then I added "plex" to the "users" group.
The weird thing is, even as root on jail console, I can't see any of my movie files under /media. I see the Movies, Music, Photos, TV, and Videos folders that I created to hold them, but nothing inside of those directories is visible.
Did I mess things up with my sub-datasets? I set all the owners/groups/permissions on them exactly the same as they are on the parent. I created them because I wanted to be able to see usage and manage compression/quotas/snapshots on each separately.
I'm a FreeBSD/FreeNAS newbie, but I've been a Linux admin for 10 years. I didn't think it would be that different, but perhaps I'm operating on false assumptions.
Thank you for any help or advice.

- My pool is named "awensley"
- My media dataset is named "data"
- My media dataset is set to Share type: "Windows" (and thus Windows ACL). It is intended to also be my Samba share.
- The owner of my share is "awensley:1001", and the group is "users:1003".
- I did not check "Allow Guest Access" on the "data" Samba share. I only want authenticated users to access it over the network.
- I created sub-datasets for Movies, Music, Photos, TV, and Videos.
- Through Windows accessing the Samba share, I set the permissions for "Everyone" on my "data" share to "Full Control." As I understand it, this should set everything to 777 permissions. I set this recursively. When I click "Change Permissions" on "data" after that, it has every permission checked for owner, group, and other.
