I follwed this KB article:

And was able to get an SSH trust relationship set up between NSMXpress and an Unbuntu server. However, I have been unable to compelte the configuration. When going through the "NSM_Setup", NSM forces you to change the passwords and add the license in again. I went ahead and did this but the setup failed with the following:

I'm wondering if there is a better way to add the remote backup server parameters in without having to use the setup tool? Running 2010.1 with the most recent patch (a20).
I do have case #2010-0513-0481 opened with JTAC, just hoping someone on the forums has experience with this and can point me in the right direction.
