OK, so I found the right thing to do here. http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/nfs-mount-for-backup-storage-73200/
Specifically this paragraph: Hard links only work within the same filesystem because they are just additional names pointing to the same inode. The cpool and pc directories must live under the same mount point. So as I outline here: http://perlwannabe.typepad.com/blog/2011/04/backuppc-to-nas-over-nfs.html I just created the mountpoint and then copied the directories over. It works in that I can now start backups, however it's failing with a tar exited with a 512 error, more googling to be done. But it's a good start..
