Yes, the client can back up a mounted drive from a NAS, do it at multiple customers with different type NAS devices.
The ANS5174E is not about read/write permissions; it usually means the account has to be a member of the Administrator or Backup Operator's group. See the "Getting started" section of the TSM 5.5. Windows client manual, it explains which Windows privileges are required on the account; get your system admin to try it using an account that is a member of the Backup Operator's group as a test, if you don't have such an account. You also must have access to the root of the drive, not just the files; and the TSM scheduler must run under a domain account, not just the default "system" account, because that account does not have network login rights.

I've set 'skipntpermissions' and made the message go away, but I'm quite sure that this is not a final solution.
