You just need to set up a Windows network drive to the NAS share and use
that drive letter.

I do this to backup files from Windows 2003 to a NAS.

Batch file runs on XP.

set cygwin=notnsec
NET USE q: /DELETE
NET USE q: \\nasdevice\files <passwd> /USER:<nasuser> /PERSISTENT:NO

rsync -rDPt --chmod=Du+rwx,Fu+rwx --delete --modify-window=3601 
/cygdrive/d/Users/ /cygdrive/q/Users

I even use MS shadow tools to copy open files on 2003.
