Mike, this suggests that whatever user is login in to the remote box doesn't
have the rights to 'mkdir /media/bmike1/Seagate'
Login to that box with that user and run that mkdir.
If it fails (and most likely will), you know what the problem is.
Being that the problem, there is a wide array of options to overcome it.
