It looks like you have everything you need.  However, it 
also looks like you don't have nasd running.

What I've done on my system is created a start-up script 
called nas_d.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

$ cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nas_d.sh

#!/bin/sh
#
#  This script was created for the sole purpose
#    of starting up the NAS daemon on system
#    startup.
#
/usr/X11R6/bin/nasd -local -b


This way nasd is called up every time you start your system 
and you won't have to mess with it manually.

Don't forget to make the script executable.  You can also 
rename the script to whatever you want, but make sure it 
ends with the .sh else it wont be called up at start-up.

HTH,

Mike
