Let me be more specific 🙂
A Macbook Pro was installed from scratch with Lion yesterday. After everything was configured, that computer could not "Enter Time Machine" located in a Time Capsule and it returned the same error as above, -6584. However, another Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard can "Enter Time Machine" without any problems.
Are they both looking at the same backups?
If 2 Macs are backed-up to the same Time Capsule, there's a separate sparse bundle disk image for each one, named <ComputerName>.sparsebundle. Enter Time Machine will look at the backups of the Mac it's run from.
It sounds like the backups for the Lion Mac are damaged/corrupted, thus the recommendation to repair that sparse bundle.
I read yesterday about some incompatibily with Lion and Time Machine regarding network drives but Time Capsule was not mentioned there. And those network drives needed to be firmware updated.
Correct; that has nothing do do with this situation.
