Can't backup Windows Oracle to Linux NAS.

I'm trying to help a customer backup his 10.2.0.2 database running on Windows 2003 (x86) to a LINUX based NAS. The backup is failing with access denied.

RMAN-03002: failure of backup plus archivelog command at 03/26/2012 10:40:42
ORA-19504: failed to create file "\\NASSERVER\ORACLEBACKUP\RMAN\BUDATA\RMAN_0RN6R658_1_1.BUS"
ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 5) Access is denied.

I am able to create, amend and delete files in this UNC path with no problem from Windows utilities, and RMAN itself creates and writes its own log file in this path without issue. But it will not write the backup. So this must be an esoteric file permissions or access problem. The error message gives the entire pathname in CAPITAL, and I know that LINUX is case sensitive. Do I have to create all the paths as given in the error message?

Howdy, Stranger!
