Ie: Go to Finder, go to Go. Connect To Server. Type in afp:://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx allow it to connect. If you make a succesful connection open TM in System Preferences. Remove the disk you are currently using, which doens't work. Select the disc that shows it is using afp.
Hopefully this will help you out. I had a very similar experience, and found that smb:// is flaky to say the least.
