OK the -a in your command line tells rsync to copy file owners, permissions and groups. Your NAS is not capable of allowing you to change these things in its current configuration - that is a limitation of the NAS you bought, not of SAMBA which it is running, or of rsync. If you need things to work this way, drop the -a and use -r instead. This will copy your files but they will all be owned by whoever you connect to the NAS as. If you need to backup permissions too, you should use getfacl/setfacl to backup just the permissions of all your files to a single text file - which you can then write to the NAS. Failing that, try using something like duplicity to do the job all in one step...
