hi michael, i changed the config according your suggestion. actually i thought i deal with two types of mounting 'requires mount' i thought refers to the os mount command (which is not required in that case) and 'automaticmount' refers to a logical mount in bacula. so thank you for pointing this out to me. i hope it works now.
