NDMP restore failed from path UNKNOWN

Is it possible to restore NDMP into a different volume on a NetApp?  For example I'm trying to do the following on our NetApp:

Backed Up: /vol/someVol/.snapshot/hourly.0/directoryRestored

Restore To: /vol/someOtherVol/directoryRestored

And during the restore job I get the following error:

NDMP restore failed from path UNKNOWN

The NetApp filer is reachable by the Netbackup server:

[user@backupServer ~]# tpautoconf -verify netappFiler
-bash: tpautoconf: command not found
[user@backupServer ~]# cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/
[user@backupServer bin]# ./tp
tpautoconf  tpclean     tpconfig    tpext       tpreq       tpunmount   
[user@backupServer bin]# tpautoconf -verify netappFiler
-bash: tpautoconf: command not found
[user@backupServer bin]# ./tpautoconf -verify netappFiler

Yes, it is possible to restore NDMP backup to alternate path and other volumes.

Please post job detail shown in Activity Monitor. Also check again if you have selected policy type and source/destinatio client correctly at restore.

Thank you Yasuihisa, I looked more closely at the Activity Monitor and I saw at the bottom:

Error nbjm (pid=12100) NBU status: 800, EMM status: The host is not defined in EMM

I changed the 'destination client' to be the FQDN and all is well now.  Thanks a million!
