I use this on the source

#!/ffp/bin/sh

I think that this can do the job (cause it does it here daily)

my version has already removed a lot of 'code' so if it can be even more simpler I would be a little surprised ;-)

This what I use based on 2 of my DNS323's.  I have it in a sh file within my Start folder in FFP, it works and I really don't know much about linux.  I took most of it from another backup post on this site (Thanks Chumby!!! http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1150 ).  The mounting is based on mounting to an open share on the other dns323.  This runs on each start up and sets up to run every night copying all my pictures to the other dns323.  When I upgrade ffp I just copy the sh file over to the new start folder. It also writes a log.

mkdir /mnt/data
mount 192.168.71.151:/mnt/HD_a2/sync /mnt/data
mkdir /mnt/Media
mount 192.168.71.151:/mnt/HD_b2/Media /mnt/Media
CRONTXT=/mnt/HD_a2/crontab.txt
/bin/crontab -l > $CRONTXT
/bin/echo "5 2 * * * rsync -avrb --delete-after /mnt/HD_b2/Pictures/* /mnt/data > /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/log/rsync.last.log" >> $CRONTXT
/bin/crontab $CRONTXT
/bin/rm $CRONTXT

Not too simple I hope...

maestro:

I have no passwords on any part of the DNS323 so I didn't need any on the shares.  Make sure that you actually create the dir's prior to attempting to mount and then it works, without this it never worked for me.

mkdir /mnt/data
mount 192.168.71.151:/mnt/HD_a2/sync /mnt/data

The shares were setup for all groups:
Share|Path               |User/Group|Comment|Oplocks|Maparchive|R/W|
sync |Volume_1/sync|ALL            |              |yes      |yes            |Yes|
