Using a shared NAS as backup to disk folder with BackupExec 2010

I have a number of servers that are some of the same domain and others from different domains.
I am going to use the NAS storage space for backing up these servers. The NAS space is obviously not part of any of the domains. I do have a username and password to access the NAS which is in a workgroup.

I want to add it as a backup-to-disk folder in BackupExec so I can backup my servers to it .
I am using the UNC path to the NAS space when trying to add it as a folder but get the error :
"Unable to create new backup folder. Access denied"

I have tried adding the logon credentials for the NAS to backupexec but this makes no difference.

Any help would be really appreciated.
