I to am using my WD NAS as a cifs mount and backuppc seems to be backing up to it just fine.  I don't see any errors on the host status page.

When you say archive space, you mean the location that all the backups are stored right ?  If that's what you mean, then that is what I am doing.

Are you trying to use a smb/cifs mounted filesystem as the archive space
for backuppc? I wouldn't expect that to work since backuppc needs to be
able to make hard links to the pool area. Be sure to check your log
files for link errors.
