Perhaps it is a permissions issue. See this Microsoft Knowledge Base article on configuring permissions on a centralized backup device - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943909 If that does not resolve the issue I suggest contacting support.

Did you select to restore "from another computer" then navigate to the location/backup you wish to restore? If you reinstall youe operating system and reinstall One Care, it sees the reinstalled computer as a new computer with no files backed up.
