Mounting ReadyNas folder on different Readynas

Hi,
go easy on me - I'm new to the whole SSh thing and had tried to follow a couple of threads already opened on this topic but I couldn't figure it out.
Here it is:
I have 2 readyNas Pro6 units on the same network. I want to mount the "media" folder from nas1 (192.168.1.208) on nas2 (192.168.1.211). I have enabled SSH on nas2, and am able to access root with Putty.
When I run the following command, it tells me it cant find the directory:

nas2:~# mount -t cifs -o pass=password //192.168.1.208/media /mnt/media
Couldn't chdir to /mnt/media: No such file or directory

BTW - I have enabled NFS on NAS1 for the "media" share .
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
JB

    umount /media should have been enough.

    If the system thinks someone is still using the share, then you could use -f to force the dismount.

    If you have changed the directory to the mount point or a directory within to umount you can do e.g.

    # cd
    # sync
    # umount /media
