Try using a Domain Admin account for logging into the share while running the 
backup. In our case, we have not made the share visible on the client by 
mapping it as a drive.

In the client configuration. goto "Apps&Modules" -> "Access". In the field 
provided, enter the domain admin username (domain\username)and password. this 
is assuming the filer is in the same domain as well. then for saveset enter the 
share path using this format: \\share

see if it works.
