A vault cannot be on a NAS. A vault is essentially an Aperture Library, and the same conditions hold. Keep your vaults on a local drive, according to this Support document: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
Is the non-NAS drive formatted correctly?
If you cannot create a vault at all, the problem is probably with your Aperture library - some file that cannot be read or written.
Can you copy your Aperture library to an external drive, or do you get an error message?

i knew you'd be around ; >so - i learned a few things.
All my libraries and vaults have been on external drives - always.
I guess when I said local and NAS I confused you - they are on the same LAN
As fate would have it I came across on article on ApertureExpert that was 5 years old, but this guy
was simply saying, it's not what it looks like
simply let it run for 24-48 hrs for a large library. I did and it's done.
So, lesson learned - even though Aperture seems unresponsive in Activity Manager
and you get the pizza of death, apparently it IS working. Just think in days - not hours.but to step back, leonie, yes i had gone through permissions, repair and rebuild.
i have a backup library on another drive, as well as archives.
i am in the process of taking the last five years and exporting versions out to a dedicated drive and then will
be moving on to a new library and dumping the masters.
The only way I have found to responsibly back up your library is ChronoSynch scheduled over a LAN( as it can unpack and only copy changes )I wonder how much of this Apertures fault and how much is hardware.
I would love a pure thunderbolt drive to test but my suspicion is Aperture throttles this to the point of 'days' from all the other threads i've read.thanks again >>

Just be careful. An Aperture Library (or vault) is not supported on any kind of networked volume, even on the same LAN.
