Why Backup Exec cannot access NAS (Buffalo)?

I have Backup Exec 10d running in myDomain (Windows 2003 AD).
Buffalo LinkStation LS-500GL running in myDomain. I enable access control on it and import AD users/group from myDomain.
I assign myDomain\administrator full access to this Buffalo box. Also local (to Buffalo) user 'admin' also has full access to this box.
When Backup Exec browse my network, it sees Buffalo as a host. When I double click it, it prompt for system logon account information. I try myDomain\administrator and Buffalo\admin (and admin), both fail to connect to Buffalo.
Note: I can login to Buffalo with local 'admin' account, and can connect to shares on Buffalo using myDomain\administrator.
Q#1. Can someone tell me what I do wrong to connect access controlled NAS?
Thanks a lot.

I use domain user account with admin privileges. I have no issue with BUE to back up resources in myDomain. I have issue with only the Buffalo NAS. Any idea why BUE cannot connect to Buffalo? I have more detail in my first post.

Does anyone have any update on the issue? For example, is Buffalo working on this? Or is Backup Exec working on it? Is there any other way to get around?
Thanks.
