Hi, I've got a big problem with my set.
I've bought recently a Airport Extrem N. I've plugged an USB drive on AEBS and start using it as a TimeMachine drive.

Everything work fine and a few days later stop working.
For now on ALL my macs, it's the same error, TimeMachine always prepare the backup but nothing appends...

I've tried to delete the imagedisk, time machine fails to create the backup. If I manually create the sparsebundle, it's always preparing again...
I also can't mount the imagedisk myself, the finder tells me there is no mounting files on the image disk.

Strangely, TimeMachine perform the backup without problem (and using the sparsebundle) when I connect the drive directly to the mac... but whe I plug it back to the AEBS, it fails again...

Any help to make TimeMachine work with my AEBS shared disk would be appreciated, I'm becoming crazy for now...
Thanks in advance!
