Hi Bill,

When in Airport Utility, Interact with the Network Group.  VO-space on the 
Airport Extreme you wish to work with.  Press the Edit button to get at the 
configuration options.  Select the Disk tab to see the options available in 
that pane.  They are similar to those in the previous AU.  Make sure that both 
your partitions are shared in the format you prefer.  Update if necessary.

The MacOS will mount whichever share you have setup for your Time Machine 
backups as "Time Machine Backups" on your machine as the Time Machine is doing 
it's job.  If you have shared the partitions through AU, you can access the 
partitions individually via the Sidebar by first choosing your Airport Extreme 
from the Shared section of the Sidebar.  Your partitions will then appear in 
the window where you can mount one or both as you please.  They will not appear 
automatically or upon startup unless you set this up in the Users & Groups pane 
of your system Preferences.  This is usually done by first mounting the drive 
you wish auto-mounted, going to the Login Items of Users & Groups system Pref, 
then adding the volume you wish to auto-mount.

Hope this clears some things up for you.  If you're still confused, let me know.

Later...
