You need to use the Exchange System manager.  Once in there, navigate through the tree to your servers and to your RSG.  Right click the RSG,  choose Properties and select the Database tab.  Check the box for “This database can be overwritten by a  restore”.  Again, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE you are on the Mailbox Store listed under the Recovery Storage Group and NOT the one listed under the First Storage Group, as they are named the same.  That is the key to making the restore go to the RSG.
