Backup Exec 2014 not backing up EMC Data Domain CIFS share

ERMarathon

I'm trying to backup a CIFS share on an EMC Data Domain model DD2200 onto a Quantum Scalar i40 tape library.  If I try to backup to disk, it works, but if I try to backup to tape it fails every time complaining about a remote Windows agent not being installed.  I've noticed when I add the Server in as a "File Server or NDMP Data Server", it still thinks it's a Windows server.  Anyone run into this?  All credentials are correct, I can browse the CIFS share through Backup Exec...and again I can backup to disk, just not to tape.

You should not try to backup the BKF backup files on DD CIFS share to tape. 

Rather configure backup to disk (DD) and duplication to tape  (D2D2T).
