I have set up a local testing VM with Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS and the LEMP stack. It's kind of an unconventional setup because instead of having all my PHP scripts on the local machine, I've mounted an NTFS share as the document root because I do my development on Windows. I had everything working perfectly up until this morning, now I keep getting a dreaded 'File not found.' error.
I am almost certain this must be somehow permission related, because if I copy my site over to /var/www, nginx and php-fpm have no problems serving my PHP scripts. What I can't figure out is why all of a sudden (after a reboot of the server), no PHP files will be served but instead just the 'File not found.' error. Static files work fine, so I think it's PHP that is causing the headache.
Both nginx and php-fpm are configured to run as the user www-data:
root@ubuntu-server:~# ps aux | grep 'nginx\|php-fpm'
root 1095 0.0 0.0 5816 792 ? Ss 11:11 0:00 nginx: master process /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

root 1686 0.0 0.0 4368 816 pts/1 S+ 11:11 0:00 grep --color=auto nginx\|php-fpm
I have mounted the NTFS share at /mnt/webfiles by editing /etc/fstab and adding the following line:
//192.168.0.199/c$/Websites/ /mnt/webfiles cifs username=Jordan,password=mypasswordhere,gid=33,uid=33 0 0
Where gid 33 is the www-data group and uid 33 is the user www-data. If I list the contents of one of my sites you can in fact see that they belong to the user www-data:
root@ubuntu-server:~# ls -l /mnt/webfiles/nTv5-2.0
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 0 www-data www-data 0 Jun 6 19:12 app
drwxr-xr-x 0 www-data www-data 0 Aug 22 19:00 assets
-rwxr-xr-x 0 www-data www-data 1150 Jan 4 2012 favicon.ico
-rwxr-xr-x 0 www-data www-data 1412 Dec 28 2011 index.php
drwxr-xr-x 0 www-data www-data 0 Jun 3 16:44 lib
drwxr-xr-x 0 www-data www-data 0 Jan 3 2012 plugins
drwxr-xr-x 0 www-data www-data 0 Jun 3 16:45 vendors
If I switch to the www-data user, I have no problem creating a new file on the share:
root@ubuntu-server:~# su www-data
$ > /mnt/webfiles/test.txt
$ ls -l /mnt/webfiles | grep test\.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 0 www-data www-data 0 Sep 8 11:19 test.txt
There should be no problem reading or writing to the share with php-fpm running as the user www-data.
When I examine the error log of nginx, it's filled with a bunch of lines that look like the following:
2012/09/08 11:22:36 [error] 1096#0: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.0.199, server: , request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "192.168.0.123"
2012/09/08 11:22:39 [error] 1096#0: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.0.199, server: , request: "GET /apc.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "192.168.0.123"
It's bizarre that this was working previously and now all of sudden PHP is complaining that it can't "find" the scripts on the share. Does anybody know why this is happening?
EDIT
I tried editing php-fpm.conf and changing chdir to the following:
chdir = /mnt/webfiles
When I try and restart the php-fpm service, I get the error:
Starting php-fpm [08-Sep-2012 14:20:55] ERROR: [pool www] the chdir
path '/mnt/webfiles' does not exist or is not a directory
This is a total load of bullshit because this directory DOES exist and is mounted! Any ls commands to list that directory work perfectly. Why the hell can't PHP-FPM see this directory?!

; List of ipv4 addresses of FastCGI clients which are allowed to connect.
; Equivalent to the FCGI_WEB_SERVER_ADDRS environment variable in the original

; Set permissions for unix socket, if one is used. In Linux, read/write

; The URI to view the FPM status page. If this value is not set, no URI will be

; process manager - static or dynamic;
; idle processes - the number of idle processes;
; active processes - the number of active processes;
; total processes - the number of idle + active processes.
; max children reached - number of times, the process limit has been reached,
; when pm tries to start more children (works only for

; The values of 'idle processes', 'active processes' and 'total processes' are

; will be used instead.
; Note: chrooting is a great security feature and should be used whenever

; For php_*flag, valid values are on, off, 1, 0, true, false, yes or no.
; Defining 'extension' will load the corresponding shared extension from
