When I tried to use my QNAP NAS with my MacBook Pro and TimeMachine, I ran into the problem that my Mac actually did find the QNAP for TimeMachine backups but no matter what I tried, I kept getting the darn "OSStatus Error 2" message.
After a lot of searching and a big "Doh!" (Homer Simpson style) ...
1) The username is "TimeMachine" ...
2) Type the password you've entered when you activated TimeMachine on your QNAP
In case that doesn't do it for you, SSH into your QNAP and:
cd /share/MD0_DATA/.timemachine
rm -rf .AppleDB
