I dunno if those permissions are sufficient?

That looks good to me.   I was worried that gvfs wasn't installed (in which case 
the directory shouldn't exist) or that the permissions were wrong.   If time permits
I will search the thunar sources for the error message, but it could mean gvfs
failed to connect to the server known as smb.

Would Viasat stoop to that, seems a different kind of business, i get
spam, routed to junk, from Newegg, Amazon, and one credit account too,
they would be just one more, but I'm not aware of anything Viasat might
have triggered ...
