Hi Ian, Looks like your directory is set up to automount and Bacula does not know how to handle it properly. You might need to write a small Bash script doing just what you tried manually: "cd /home/ian/nas1stuff/; ls -lh" and then specify it as RunBeforeJob in your director's config. Note, cd into automounted directory followed by ls would "enable" the mount and make it visible to Bacula.
