Using Mac - Getting "Unable to access remote path"

Running Ultray-6 with RAIDiator 4.2.19-T4

BTW I tried going into the nas SSH and could issue the commands:

NAS-ULTRA6:~# smbclient \\\\192.168.0.127\\myusername mypassword -U myusername
Domain=[myusername-IMAC] OS=[Darwin] Server=[@(#)PROGRAM:smbd PROJECT:smbx-103]

So it would appear to me that the box CAN access the share from the mac ... just the backup is having issues do this?.?.?

The cifs-ab protocol uses smbclient, so you may want to try that. Timestamp would use mount.cifs underneath.

I'm not following you... where would I try the cifs-ab protocol? I only have Remote Windows/NAS and Remote Windows Archive as a selection.

I am having the same issue.

This has only happened since I upgraded to Lion on my Mac Mini.

When using the Archival Bit (cifs-ab) option, it completed, but doesn't seem to want to copy or check any subfolders.

EDIT:

I fixed my problem with not reading any sub folders, but now I get a Failed Error.

A snippet from my log is:

INCREMENTAL Backup started. Tue Aug 30 12:42:51 EDT 2011 Job: 002 Protocol: cifs-ab Source: //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Iomega HDD/iTunes Media Destination: [media]/Music NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED opening remote file \iTunes Media\.com.apple.timemachine.supported (\iTunes Media\) NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED opening remote file \iTunes Media\.DS_Store (\iTunes Media\) NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED opening remote file \iTunes Media\.iTunes Preferences.plist (\iTunes Media\) NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED opening remote file \iTunes Media\Books\01_letter-toc.qxd.pdf (\iTunes Media\Books\) NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED opening remote file \iTunes Media\Books\023-950-KatrinaReport.indd.pdf (\iTunes Media\Books\) NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED opening remote file \iTunes Media\Books\5766_BI_BK1.indd.pdf (\iTunes Media\Books\)

I'd suggest opening up a ticket with support so they can try and reproduce the issue.

Same issue. Also seems to have started since Lion.

Can connect on the 'test' during setup for backup but then backup always fails.

Help!

Just got it to start using Windows Archive Bit, but then fails after about 5 mins

cifs-ab is Windows Archive Bit.

What error messages are you getting?

I am having trouble connecting for a backup, too. My Mac Mini is a part of my Media Center at my house. I am looking to backup the media portion of iTunes (it is not part of my Time Machine backup) with this feature. I always get an error about not being able to "access remote path" when I "Test Connection" on the config screen. If I save and run the backup config, I get an unknown error.

I have things setup as follows:

Windows (Archive Bit)

Host = IP address of Mac Mini
Path = Iomega HDD/iTunes Media
Login = User name and password of Admin

The error I am getting is:

Error encountered copying data from remote source path //x.x.x.x/Iomega HDD/iTunes Media ==> /media/Music due to unknown reason. Please see log [Job 002]
