AFP lion causing finder issues

i don't know if else has come across issue i'm stuck this possibly 1 of random glitches have come across in lion.

i'll explain situation in basic form...

bought iomega network cloud storage 1tb drive time machine, reserved ip address on wifi router , setup device setting wanted, after restart of device , macbook pro started time machine full backup of mac, took around 2-3 hours left carry on doing it.

every 15 mins time machine backup had been changed worked fine 3 hours.

error pop "time machine cannot use device has incorrect afp settings" thats total rubbish backed last 6 hours or absolutely fine no issues, restart mac , network hard drive ruined finder setting in fact became corrupted had delete .plist , restart fixed issue, checked setting on network hdd , decided delete mac setting form hard drive , start again see if nhd work, did , again backing fine 2-3 hours until boom done same thing again same error message , same .plist corruption?

i'm sure issue time machine or iomega software sometime fails load up, i've updated them both including drive firmware latest version supposed fix glitch apples updated afp still fails after set time, think issue fact there no keychain access authenticating nhd think time machine forgets user name , password drive , iomega drive won't let time machine log causing afp errors, re-authenticate manually , doesn't try throws afp error, time machine kind of rubbish honest i've seen better.

 

lion changed how handles authentication afp shares. if maker of drive has not patched software make compatible you'll have few options.

edit:
have qnap nas , once qnap patched firmware, , issues resolved. see if iomega has patch unit
