I've now discovered that the daemon is run by root.

As I said in my post the ssh command does run successfully when run 
interactively "but if I run the ssh command interactively from the usual 
graphical terminal (as root) it shuts down the NAS". 
/root/.ssh/known_hosts does exist. As it does work interactively, 
presumably root must have the correct entries in the known_hosts file.

One problem is that when the daemon runs the script the ssh command 
fails and I don't know if there was any error message, and if so where 
to find any error messages after I reboot.
