During the move archive, EV checks the destination VaultStore by performing a lookup against the local directory database which does not contain the correct information. This is typically caused by the registry key below: 

UseLocalDirectory  set the value to 1

Either remove the registry key or set it to 0 to be able to use the remote directory.

Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.
