It's not supported.
Had the same issue, but there is at least one thread on it [thread=39835]here[/thread].

Try to access your flicks via FTP. The SMB proto is known to be slow as hell on those NAS devices.

Hell, I'd be happy if it would just pull thumbnails from the source directory instead of forcing a download. The TV scrapers seem to work this way, but not the movie, and it takes a significantly longer amount of time.

XBMC scraper can partially work on UPnP sources if the server exposes the media file name in it's path unfortunately Synology do not and randomize the name so you get something like 3450.avi as the file name.
The only one I know of that does expose the file name is PS3 Media Server. You will also run into an issue where it's not possible to alter the movie ID so if it has been miss-identified you have to start from scratch again for all movies.
