What he said......      

Duplicate from a non-NDMP to another non-NDMP STU.

I don't know of anyway to get your filer to do it's own duplication.

Basically what you need to do, is to specify a "non-NDMP" destination
STU, and do not attempt to specify an alternate read host.

Just make sure you do not have a fragment size specified on the
destination STU.
