Well, I mount the drives on the NAS box over the network with nfs on my main rig. It's just how I set it up. For some reason, it just won't work this time. It works when I do my video backups tho. :/ It does mount fine and everything shows up. It's just that it won't let me create a directory or anything to copy files over. You get your system fixed? Dale :-) :-)
