NV+ Backup to Mac Share

My Windows box that I had my Backup USB drive connected to recently crashed, so I moved the USB drive over to my OSX box. I'm trying to get a backup job to copy from my ReadyNAS share to my OSX share (on the USB drive), but it won't connect.

I'm trying to use: Remote: Windows/NAS (Timestamp) as the destination, but when I put in my credentials and the share info, I get invalid login when I try testing the connection.

My user name on the Mac does have a space in it, so I don't know if that's part of the problem.

Any ideas, do I need a different destination, type, different user name, etc?

That's it. You'll need a username w/o a space.

    Does that second account have permission to access the share?
    
    I'm not a mac owner, so I can't offer specifics.
