Problems connecting an external drive (NAS) for TimeMachine backup

Question

Hi everyone,
I have bought a Verbatim MediaShare, and want to use it as a media NAS, but also as a source for TimeMachine.
I have created an administrators account on the MediaShare NAS, and then launches the Verbatim application "ComputerBackup"
The application first verifies the user account on the MediaShare, and the administrator account is accepted:
I then click the "next" button:
Click the next button again, and then get the following (Safari launches, and I get the -1409 error. from MountVolume.app):
When i click the "edit-buttun" (redigera) in the error message window, the Appelscript interpretor starts:
MountVolume.app gets stuck on the row "open for access myPrefsFile". The value of myPrefsFile is:
/Applications/
MediaShare Desktop Applications/ComputersBackup.app/Contents/MacOS/Configure Time Machine.app/Contents/MacOS/MountVolume.app/Contents/MacOS/settings.txt
The file "settings.txt" really exits in that location, and the content of it is: NETBIOS=MEDIASHARE2
The content is probably of no interest, since the error is caused when opening the file for access.
Why do i get the -1409 (Fork error something),
and most important how can I solve the problem?

Tnx for the tip about the articles.
