External Library guidance (yes another one)

❓Question☑️Ready
I'm running Immich in a docker container on a Synology DS723+ and it's been up and running for a few months now. It's pretty much digested everything I've thrown at it and it's backing up photos from my android phone just fine. My NAS is set up w/ volume1/docker/immich, but I'd like to add the external library volume1/photo and I can't seem to accomplish this. I use portainer and what I thought to be the path:

volumes:
- /volume1/docker/immich/upload:/usr/src/app/upload:rw
- /volume1/photo:/volume1/photo:ro # < this is what I added

When I added "/volume1/photo" as the import path in the External Library Management section of the program I was pleased not to see the Warning this time. I went to scan the new external library and nothing happed. Zero assets rather than the 10K I expected. Clearly I am out of my depth here.
Thanks for any guidance.
