Was running two computers with thunderbird both sync to the same profile stored on a NAS device. NAS device lost a drive but profile remained in tact. Now TB will not load the profile but when asked where the profile is located TB shows correct location and profile. Have tried reinstalling TB, restarting computer, restarting NAS device, have checked the profiles.ini file to make sure it is correct. All give the same effect, TB asks me to create new profile like I just installed the software. Any ideas??

how do you know it is not loading the profile? My guess is it is and your missing something you expect and assume it is not.
