Time machine over a network seems to require *something* special. I couldn't get it to work over a simple NFS share for example.
This document talks about some of the special requirements for the SMB samba share:

Ah! That is good to know. I was worried that gluster had decided to stop supporting Samba. Does anyone know how to install this on Arch? There doesn't seem to be a package for it, and it doesn't seem to be installed by default.

Correction: afpfs (afpovertcp) file system mounted from an Airport Extreme.
I've been hearing for years that Apple has switched to SMB. My AE is
fairly new but I've never found a way to make it do SMB instead of AFP.
