One-Touch Transfer Button and MAC OS-X Extended

Is there anyone else finding that if you format the Sharespace using MAC OS-X Extended (v10.6.x) that you cannot initiate a transfer using the one-touch USB Backup (USB → Sharespace) on the Sharespace? This behavior is happening regardless of the partition scheme used…GUID, Apple, etc.

As I saw on one other thread and as mine is doing, once the disk is connect to the Sharespace the LED will blink 3X then stop and no transfer takes place.

However, if you first format the drive from within the Sharespace GUI (FAT-32), dismount the drive, attach it back to your Mac to copy data and then reconnect it to the Sharespace you can then use the one-touch USB transfer function to transfer that data from the USB disk to the Sharespace.

Thank you!
