And now I simply cannot make my AE "see" the usb-attached harddrive.

Not enabling backing up over AirDisk but doing it over Time Capsule "might" be an engineering issue. But not working this out by the time Time Capsule was released smells a lot like wanting to drive Time Capsule sales.

AirDisk will stop working once you have copied a few gigs of data over. The hard-drive which is attached will just disappear. This is true..

That's why they went with a "Server class" drive in their new Time Capsule.
