I just wanted to get back to you because you had put so much effort into helping me out. I found a really good solution to my problem. After looking around the BUFFALO NAS pages (http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/Main_Page) for a while I ran accross a wiki (http://www.debacher.de/wiki/Buffalo_LinkStation_Live) that amazed me: I can telnet into my LinkStation easily AND it has a running rsync daemon! I can now use rsync properly from any of my linux machines using my NAS as a backup target! And I now know how to mount the LinkStation shares properly thanks to the suggestions posted in this thread. Thank you! Chris -- C.
