What are the error messages?

This appears to match an old known issue you have to restore to a local or SAN attached drive on the media server  (I am not sure when we fixed this but I don't think it the fix was against 2010)

I'll see if I can find the details

If you are redirecting the VM to a non ESX/vCenter, then the redirection can be done only to the local media server itself.

In fact we appear (at leats in BE 2010 and 2012) to have documented it as a limitation - see:
