Well I guess I spoke too soon.
After upgrading my NV+ (v1) firmware to 4.1.13 RC1, I was able to connect from my Mavericks machine and start the Time Machine backup. However I haven't been able to get the backup to complete yet. It will say "Backing up X of X GB" for a while, then switch to "Waiting to Complete First Backup", and this message remains permanently. The machine will periodically try to complete a backup, but a "backup failed' message will pop up in the notifications area.
I used the Dashboard widget "Time Machine Buddy" to get this log:
Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Thanks!
