Well thats more off an a basic linux question so use your favourite
terminal tool on windows it's may be putty and open a SSH session tot
the server .

The commands in question s you want to explore is *cd* (for moving
around just like in DOS prompt ) and *chmod* and *chown* .
Is the is rigths and owners/user on the system .

There are a lot of such web sites and resources that could explain it to
you I recommend going there and learn some . make bookmarks .

Find the where it the folders are in the linux file structure a gues is
/mnt or /media but you get some clues from lms web UI while you try to
browse there .

Exemple only valid for me :

# chmod 777 -R /media/cover

this is my cover art folder named "cover" that is in my media folder and
i changed the rights to read and write for everyone (the 777 part ) and 
the -R means recursively for subfolders to that folder .
This may seem a bit sloppy to some (it is lazy I admit ) you could
experiment with chown which rougly is "change owner" and a more
restrictive rw options (if you google you find what these 3 numbers mean
and make a more restricted schoice ) .

The LMS is running by its own user account that usually is
squeezeboxserver (can be something else) besides that you have root and
possibly some other user I dont know the plug distro .
So you could change the owner to squeezeboxserver .

*mkdir* is also useful you can make the folders directly in the
commandline 

My lazy approach is because this is "just" the music share that I have
back-upped etc . I'm not  bank so it's more of nuisance if it gets
corrupted .

More seasoned linux users may have better ideas .
