ok... so I backed up the TimeMachine from the NV+ to the Pro first with NFS (800GB takes 20 hours) and then incremental with rsync to a share called "Tmbkup". Turned on TimeMachine on the Pro, then turned it off. Then I smb'ed to the pro:admin/c and moved the sparsebundle to c/.timemachine. Then turned timemachine back on. I set my Mac's timemachine to point to the Pro and... it can enter timemachine ok. (and yes, there's another bundle there for another Mac, but I haven't tried that one yet)
However, when I tried to do a timemachine backup, it kept giving errors and trying to expand sparsebundle and deleting lots of old backups, etc. never actually backing up. Looking at console I see lots of messages e.g. (until I cancelled the backup):
Opening the sparsebundle with diskutil shows ~170GB available.
