RE: Backup Volume Could not be Mounted
Not being able to mount the volume usually (not always) refers to the sparseimage not being mountable rather than the NAS share. Please can you try the following:
Mount the share that you've configured to be used by timemachine
Open a finder window showing the share & the created sparsebundle
Force TM to start and watch to see if another sparsebundle is created then deleted on the share (will appear & disappear in finder)
If you do see the creation & deletion of a sparsebundle, then it means you have somehow got the name of your original manually create sparsebundle incorrect.
