It "looks" ok, I assume that /export/Backup4TB is a valid and existing 
directory on the server that is sharing the files?

You might also want to look for file/directory ownership and permissions, as 
even though the shared filesystem is on another system, the user that is 
reading/writing from/to it needs to have access, so check that the UID/GUI of 
the "pi" user (I assume that's the user that will be reading/writing on the 
bbs/pi, make sure that what UID/GID it has on the bbs system, is also a valid 
UID/GID on the system that is sharing the files.

Make sure also that this UID/GID has access on the directory and files within 
for reading/writing. 

Hope this helps.

Yes, the script should work as long as you have the file sharing set up 
correctly. I used to always mount manually because it would always hang my 
system if the network share wasn't readable for some reason, but I have since 
ironed out those issues I had and now use fstab, but mounting it manually is 
the same as using fstab, so make sure it works manually first and it will then 
work in fstab.
