Mountain Lion won't let me create a new Time Machine backup

Hi,

today I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and everything seemed fine with the system, until I had to check Time Machine.

I already had many problems when upgrading to Lion since I'm using a Western Digital 4Tb Sharespace to save my backups. But now, in Mountain Lion, when i tried to backup, it simply didn't let me. I decided to start fresh, as I didn't need the old copies, but now, with everything deleted (and the RAID re-created for this purpose, so perfectly new) when it is going to mount the drive, it says that the disk is not available.

Checking the console it says "error 19", but I cannot find what that error exactly means, just some wonderings and roundabouts for other people's problems (which aren't exactly mine)

Any solution? Is it Mountain Lion, or Sharespace's Firmware?

Thanks

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion, Sharespace 4Tb NAS

I got mine to backup. But in Time Machine Preferences, my previous backups dating to January didn't show. After completing a full 10 gig backup neither did previous or current backups. However entering Time Machine, all the backups were there. After leaving Time Machine and going back to Time Machine Preferences, The date of the previous backup and current backup were visable. I don't know if you have to enter Time Machine just once to have these appear in the Preferences but that's what happened with me.
