6.2.0 Not able to see Personal Time Machine Shares

I've completed a successful 330GB TimeMachine backup to a new 500GB Home TM share. The problem is how to view that backup? Seems that I am unable to see the new personal Home TM share (folder is blank/empty) or even the old method Shared TM share. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Isn't time machine backups become sparsebundle file when saved on the NAS? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, there should be a sparsebundle for each Mac that is backed up. Before 6.2.0 I was able to mount & view the sparsebundles - now I think they are hidden from viewing via AFP or SMB.

Ok - silly me! Found both the old and new sparsebundles in the same location. I assumed since the new method requires a separate "User" and password that it could be pulled up that way.

Both the new private sparsebundle and old shared sparsebundle appear by using the old user: "ReadyNAS" & password and not the new private user & password. Not sure how I would manually open the new private sparsebundle since it appears to be locked with a different user & password than "ReadyNAS & old password required to bring it up?
