I don't think systemd had anything to do with the problem.  It was, of 
course, my fault!

I don't have an /etc/exports and the NAS box embedded Linux OS doesn't 
allow users access to system level stuff.  Volume_1 is the root of the 
user storage area.  My main problem was that the path to the NAS box 
needed to be:  //192.168.0.32/Volume_1 instead of using a colon as 
mount.nfs wants.  Also a correct entry in /etc/fstab was needed so a 
regular user could mount it.
Thanks for the help!
