Just a thought.
Have you tried running the GUI, Going into Backup,
and trying to follow the path in the selection windows?

Also, check the permissions at the root of the drive,
make sure that the account running the backup has full 
control to the root and see what happens. 
(it's a little tricky to set the permissions on a mounted
volume, because you have two independent objects to set
permissions on. One is the folder used for the mount point, and 
the other is the logical drive mounted to the folder.

I don't see both filespaces as you listed below.

I only see one for the drive itself.  hmmm

We use windows mount points (mounting a logical drive to an empty
directory on another drive) The mount point is backed up and restored as
an empty directory.
the drive that is mounted, and the data in it is stored as a separate
filespace.
(We don't use DFS)
Take a close look at q filespace for the server and see what's there.
Do you see something like
\\servername\d$
\\servername\d$\mountedvolume

In this case, the mounted volume is the botton filespace.
the top filespace is the drive containing the directory used as a
mountpoint.

 Have a windows server with junction points set up.  My understanding is
that I need to include

DFSBackupmntpnt  YES

In my dsm.opt on the server.  I have included this.  Just did a whole
server restore and the directory got restored as a junction point when I
look thru ms-dos, but no files are in it.

Additionally, when I open the GUI to backup, the folders don't contain
any data in the GUI view....but they do when I look on the server
itself.

Any help on junction points is appreciated.  Thought we had this figured
out.

Thanks,
