Are you including JET in front when you are specifying the store? The format should be something along the lines of:
"JET SERVERNAME\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group\" Replacing SERVERNAME with the name of the server that you are backing up, and First Storage Group with the name of the Storage Group. I haven't got access to the system where this is setup, so it is from memory.

Specifying the store, even quoted like it is in the bks file doesn't work...
