Time Machine access/permission problem; Lion, Duo and 4.1.8
So I have 2 Macbook laptops, one brand new with Lion, one older one with Snow Leopard. The old laptop works great with the Duo and Time Machine. I'm trying to setup the new laptop by transferring my old settings via the Time Machine backup, but I haven't been able to connect to the TM share with the new one yet.
I can access the Duo via AFP or CIFS. I can see the share/TM drive, but when it asks for a username and password every combination that I come up with fails. The local admin for the laptop, the admin for the Duo, the default admin login/pass for the Duo, the single user account on the Duo and the Guest account on the Duo all fail to connect. It either shakes me off as if I have the wrong password, comes back with the OSStatus Error 2 or, oddly enough, seems as if it accepts the login/pass but doesn't do anything.
Any ideas? I'm kind of banging my head against the wall here.
Thanks for the help!

Man, I feel like such a tool. Totally forgot about that. Thanks for the help! Really appreciate it.- You're welcome.
Btw the credentials for the share should be in the keychain on the older Mac, I think. - How do you force the mac to store the access in the keychain? I've been trying to set up Time Machine on my Mac Mini to an NV+
I haven't been able to complete the first backup yet -- I keep losing connection to the NAS.
One of the problems might be that every time I reconnect to the NAS in the Time Machine preferences, it keeps asking for the userid/password, making me think it's not getting stored in Keychain.
Thanks! - BTW, the error I keep getting when the backup fails is a 109...The backup disk image could not be accessed (error 109)
Thanks!
