I've seen quite a few posts re: remote destination permission issues and the like and experienced these myself (no matter what - testing failed.)
My NAS can handle smb or ftp protocols.
I'm using Linux Mint v4.0 KDE (based on (k)ubuntu).
I installed sbackup via apt (excellent app by the way.)

The solution to my remote problems was simple:
libgnomevfs2-0 was installed
libgnomevfs2-common was maybe installed (lost track in my experimenting)
libgnomevfs2-extra (ftp,smb,http,bzip modules) was NOT installed
After installing everything is OK!

I realize I'm running KDE - but maybe this will solve others' problems as well.

Question1: Shouldn't these have been pulled in as package dependencies?

Question2: Should I be able to use local (fstab) mounted smb share (I can use it as smb://user:pw@destination/share?)

I hope this helps!
