As a workaround, set the shadow volume's directory to the default in /media/nss

2) Deactivate the primary and shadow volumes (leave pools active)
3) "ncpcon remove shadow_volume /l <primary volume name>"
4) Mount the volumes
5) Highlight the shadow volume in nssmu and hit F2 to change the volume path to /media/nss/...
