NetRestore is failing to restore the image

Hi,

I'm hoping that someone can give me some advice with an issue I am having while trying to restore an image onto a new SSD in an external enclosure connected by Firewire to a MacBook Pro. The SSD has been initialised and formatted with Mac OS Journaled and GUID partition and is readable by the OS. But when I try to restore an image it fails. Looking through the log there is something about not enough disk space but I don't understand this as the SSD has 477GB free and the image I'm trying to restore is only 16GB.

Checking the disk space through terminal shows the following (the SSD is /dev/disk2/s2):

I'm pretty new to using NetRestore as I've always imaged Macs using Casper where the config and image creation was done by a separate team. Anyone have any ideas why this maybe failing? I'm at a loss to understand and would appreciate any knowledge you can throw my way to better understand this issue.


Thanks
