Lost permissions, guides wont work, help asked

Hi MBW enthousiasts,

I recently encountered the dreaded losing permissions problem on my white light mbw. I tried the guide in the troubleshooting section. This is what I tried with PUTTY:

I log in with root:welc0me

cd /shares
rm -r internal/*/*
tar cpsf /root/internal.tar internal

I get that the folder internal isnt found.

I also tried this from petark:
unmount /dev/md4

I get that unmount isnt found.

Im lost, how do I log in to reformat the drive? Can someone tell me exactly how to do it I get the feeling im already loging in as the wrong user. I tried SU but all passwords I can think of dont work. I backuped all my data, that took 2 days but I have it all :p I can literally do anything with the device so dont hold back.

Thanks for the help!
