Stop changing the ownership temporarily with your CRON job.
That could be causing an issue depending on the file permissions when copied form the IBMi.
See if the files stop disappearing.
I found this older link talking about setting UID=0, GID=0 and root squash.

Thanks Chris for the reply.
We see no evidence of a dismount and we actually see them as being created on the NAS (we have a cron job running that changes ownership after creation of document and so we were able to track down in the log files some of the missing documents). It's after that point that they are disappearing.

I issues I ran into is, when the NAS mount is not mounted, files are written to the IFS directory. Once you re-mount the NAS, they are hidden, as you only see the NAS device and not the actual IFS directory it is mounted over. Even a WRKLNK will show the mounted directory, not the physical directory while the mount is attached.
