ok no that's disabled

Then you'll probably want to enable it.

so since the option is disabled on my working share, what does the setting actually do and why is it necessary here?

Yep, that's it. It looks like you ran chmod 770 from shell on the path (prevents traverse for non-root / non-wheel members). That basically breaks access for all users. Run command chmod 755 /mnt/tank and it should work.

Do you happen to know what tutorial advised running that command?

We explicitly prevent users from editing permissions on /mnt/tank via webui (and internally in middleware) to prevent these sorts of issues, but we have had some issues in the past with influencers telling their audiences to do things like "chmod 770 /mnt/tank". I'm glad you're sorted out now.
