One problem is that the OS6 systems use different UIDs/GIDs for nobody/nogroup (99 for OS6, 65534 for OS4), which can create problems if you are backing up to/from the older systems. I worked around this by avoiding nobody/nogroup on my pro.
You could also try resetting the username to match the share owner in the OS6 backup job. Though early on there was a bug with that setting, so you'd need to test it.
