It works!!!
Here are the two final lines of my /etc/fstab
As a further test, I tried mounting //Asus/Backup to /mnt/Test, where my user account from .smb does NOT have permissions to read/write. Failed to load! Yay!
As a final note to your EDIT, you are correct. The ONLY reason I had NFS running was because of the cifs problem in the first place. Worked on this months ago without success when I first got the router, and was pleased when I revisited it and you helped me with the 'sync'. Probably should have documented my first go-around with cifs then. NFS is off and those resources are no longer required.
Regardless, I love this router and I love the firmware. I was a DD-WRT firmware lifer until my friend told me of the virtues of Asus hardware combined with Merlin. I'm now months into my new system and can't believe how rock solid stable and fast everything is. While I still think DD-WRT is a fine piece of work, this firmware has been able to do everything I've ever asked of it. The community support here has been welcome, gracious, fast, polite and most of all helpful.
Now time to tackle my RPi to Windows Samba problem. Don't think it's anything to do with the Asus, but off we go.
Thanks for everyone's help on getting this to work!
