You didn't provide all the facts.
what is the configuration of the two clients on the server where you are 
running the recover? 
what exact command did you run?
Did  networker produce any errors or warnings during the directed recover on 
the CLI session and the logs?
Any errrors on the NetApp filer?
Is the file system on the target big enough for this recover if temporary dump 
files are created during the recover?
