    You have to add the BESA to the NAS as a local admin with full read/write permission to the entire disk.  This is usually done using the admin console of the NAS.

    Like pkh says, just add it as a regular account to your nas.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I did originally add the BESA as a local user to the NAS but it didn't work. I tried again a few hours later and it seemed to, so don't know what changed...

The fact it didn't work the first time made me think I somehow had to add the BESA to the NAS using AD Authentication or something similar, hence my original post.

both phk and maurijo's comments were valid along with Colin's explaniation - So thankyou to all.

Cheers
