"systemctl enable something.mount" just allows the mount to be run at boot, so either reboot or run "systemctl start something.mount"
Thank you lrusak.
That's got it sorted. Much appreciated. That was the very step I needed to move forward. From there, I had to sort out why it was failing but at least the failure gave me the directions I needed to continue. I had rebooted before but it hadn't seemed to work.
In any case, It is working now and I can see the contents of the NAS in the mounted folders so thank you once again.
One last question.. on a system without a read-only file system, is there any advantage to mounting network shares with this method over modifying the fstab?
