0)
first of all, your backup dir is in the scope of [homes]
share ... this can sometimes be the problem,
if i were to code the policy, i'd take the most strict policy
in case certain directory is shared more than 1 time.
besides, regular perms problem can also occur:
please give us this:
1) df /home/tal
after determining the <device>:
cat /etc/mtab | grep <device>
see the mounting permissions
2) ls -l /home/tal
3) ls -l /home/tal/backup
4) besides, when you mount the share as root,
cheers
Max.
