if using option 3 the bacula-fd service needs to be run as a user with 
rights to access the share on netapp. certanly the SYSTEM user has no 
rights on the netapp. 

So go to the control panel -> administrative tools -> services -> bacula-
fd and change the logon credentials to a user that has a) local 
administrator rights and b) rights to access the netapp folder.

if you wan't check if you can do a "net use" as SYSTEM user, check this 
page how to get a console runnign with SYSTEM credentials: http://
