Unable to Restore ndf to different drive letter

Hello,

I have 1 Server with two SQL Server Instances installed. I am trying to restore the same SQL backup to each instance. The backup comes from a different server (production). The database has multiple ndf files. The drive letter/structure on the sever I am restoring to matches the production server and has two additional drives.

The restore to the first instance works perfectly, it is using the same drive letters and folder structure as the Production server does for the ndf files. Drive F: Data Files Drive G: Log Files

The restore to the second instance fails. The restore job is identical to the first with the following exception Drive J: Data Files Drive K: Log File - remaining folder structure is a match.

I am using a WITH MOVE in the job

, MOVE 'File201501C01Trade' TO 'J:DataESN_DATA_Bilateral20152015C01Trade201501C01Trade.ndf'

I also tried

, WITH MOVE 'File201501C01Trade' TO 'J:DataESN_DATA_Bilateral20152015C01Trade201501C01Trade.ndf'

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help!
