Then yes, it probably is SAMBA. Check your Buffalo documentation.

It's pretty well documented in the manual and FAQ that file:/// access
is meant only for single-user, local and testing access. If you're
going over a network, or have multiple users, a proper server is

A dump/load cycle would be a good idea when doing this downgrade.

These are all questions that are not really applicable here; they
pertain to the configuration and administration of your SAMBA
service/server, not TSVN.
