My Book World Edition and OS X Lion (10.7) and Time Machine

I have the same problem. It looks like this issue has been known to WD for several months, but they were waiting for Lion to be released. That’s happened.

WD, will this problem be addressed via a firmware update and when will that be released?

In the meantime, my backup/restore functionality on my Mac is disabled, and I need to get this addressed before I upgrade to Lion (which I’ve already purchased).
