You might like to try this touchfile.

We are having all kinds of issues with this behaviour - especially for
Synthetic backups to OST in a OST Duplication config.  The remote WAN
connected media server is selected as the reader in a media server load
balancing behavior along with every other media server with credentials
for the storage server holding the disk pool with the backup image.

I have yet to try this touch file which was given as a workaround. It will
supposedly use the media server listed as the creator of the copy in
bpimagelist.
