Well, no.
Admin is a built-in account for the NAS, so there won't be a /data/admin folder. There will be a /data/home/admin folder though. That will appear as an "admin" share if you access the NAS using the NAS admin credentials.
StephenB - great catch! Apologies to fmhemmer and all other readers for our mis-statement.
Since the /data/admin is not, in fact, a share, you can just write the path in manually in the Includes section (the Drop-down is a combobox, allowing you to either select from a pre-populatd share, or just type in a folder path. That can be quite tedious if the folder path is long, but in this case will be pretty painless.
Does this help resolve the issue? If not, please PM us and we will help you figure it out (and post any solutions back here upon resolution).
Thanks,

I think it'd be better to create a share (though it can't be called admin) and move the data into it. Then delete the admin folder. That would also let you control permissions, snapshots, etc from the web ui.
