Egnyte and ReadyNAS
I was wondering if anyone has tested out the Egnyte software with the readynas as it appears to be the only out of the box NAS that will run their software. It looks quite promising http://egnyte.com ...

Yes Egnyte is far more than backups. It's good for sharing documents and syncs changes made on the cloud or on the NAS, not just one way.
Correct, losing your encryption password means your data is lost, but as far as I'm concerned that is acceptable alternative to having to trust an unknown with my data. Frankly I don't care how many certifications they have, SAS, UL, CE, HIPAA, etc... I cannot trust that their datacenters are trustworthy, their employees are trustworthy, and every employee that ever worked for them is trustworthy. There's been too many examples of data loss associated with supposed "trusted" providers.
Jungledisk offers sync and with their 3.1 beta they are offering public file sharing. Its not really competitive with Egnyte's file sharing solution which I believe is more competitive with Sharepoint. Haven't tested Egnyte but have heard fairly good things.
mdgm, did you give Egnyte a trial run?
