I was not sure about the whole crontab timing thing at all really.

Yeah the share is small at the moment, but could get large pretty quickly!
I managed to fix up the permission problem properly (when the files are written in the first place), so I have deleted that line from cron.

I do not use Apple, but I presume it’s OK to occasionally delete those DS_Store files without messing up peoples systems? It would probably be a bit of a prick move to run it constantly though ;-)

You probably don’t want to do this on a NAS with a lot of files, once every 15 minutes is probably fine

or once an hour at quarter past the hour

The second one will run at 2 am every morning
