I have come across a post on this site that recommended using links in the setup instead of the direct reference to the share folder assigned in the mount. I tried that and was able to get the service to run but it failed to sync the data with the above error.

I am really stuck here without the ability to connect to some large data store I will have to use a less desirable server application like own or next (cloud).

Any help will be appreciated.
