Does the WD NAS have a way to set the workgroup?
Generally you want the same workgroup name on the NAS and the PCs
Also, are there spaces in the share names?

There is a way on the WD, but Im not sure where to set that on Windows. Also, the share name is one word, Movies so that is what I have entered - does it need any symbols or any slashes etc?
I have tried running the job and the error states 'Source cannot be mounted on the system'
- on Win7, you change the workgroup by right-clicking on "computer" and then choosing properties. You'll see a "change settings" link next to computer name,... Click on that, and a new window should popup, that has a "change..." button on it.
Other windows OS have similar procedures, you can google for it if you get stuck.
- There should be a / before the WD share name (e.g. /Movies).
