Copying permissions to enclosed folders turned out to be a huge mistake that I really wish I could undo. It caused every single folder on that volume to update it's modification date.
Well, you did explicitly tell them to be modified. :(
For some reason which I don't understand, the 8500 volume keeps disappearing from the iMac, (perhaps when there is no action).
You spread to different threads, so I've lost context... If your iMac is running OS X, then this is "normal" -- OS X has problems (bugs) keeping a grip on classic file sharing volumes. That's why my other replies recom you share the drives on the OS X machine and access them from the 8500.
File Sharing sure slows down responses on the 8500 though.
Classic file sharing can automagically sucks up to 50% of the CPU.
But when no files are moving, having it on shouldn't impact you at all.
