Mount Sparseimage - what is happening?

[mrwiggles]

Dave,

I'm having the same problem as the original poster. I set up SD on a schedule to back up to a sparseimage I have a backup USB drive attached to an Infrant ReadyNAS NV+. I've been thinking that SD has been backing up just fine because I come back to my Mac and see the network volume mounted to the desktop. I had assumed that SD had mounted the Sparseimage on that volume, done it's backup and then unmounted the SI. A look at the log shows me that the last backup was the one I did manually 6 days ago!!!!

I tried doing a manual backup and SD took forever to mount the SI - it must have been 5 minutes or so but it finally came up and then it started the back up. However, SD DOES APPEAR to be timing out on scheduled backups because the log shows that a backup has not been completed.

So I'd love your suggestions as I consider this a bug. I need to schedule backups but SD is clearly 'not waiting' for the SI to mount even though it appears to do so if you do a manual backup.

Thanks,
-Michael
