backup always failed with all the informations found in this hint and commentes, with message : "The backup disk image could not be mounted"
I was having the same problem on my newly-installed 10.5 Macbook Pro. Some hints at another site pointed me to opening the Console utility and using it to watch the system.log. The errors I saw said the backupd program was trying to unmount and re-mount the share. I can't post the exact lines from the log file, but they said three things each time my backups failed:

   Network mountpoint /Volumes/backup not owned by backupd... remounting
   Failed to remount network volume.
   Backup failed with error 19.
I realized that I had the share open in Finder, so it was mounted. I ejected the share in Finder so it would be unmounted, and tried Time Machine again. Bingo. My Time Machine backups started working! Maybe this will help some other folks... Greg
