Bacula copy job cannot find device

Question

I have one bacula server on site which regularly backup all my servers. Now i am trying to create copy job which should copy all full backups to offsite. But i still getting error:

Device "FileStorage" not in SD Device resources.

that is strange because onsite storage device is called: FileStorage and offsite storage device is: OffsiteFileStorage. (if i rename offsite device the job will just hang) if i try to do regular backup to offsite storage everything works normal.

configuration files:

bacula-storage.conf (onsite)

AFAIK copying jobs between storage-daemons is still not possible.

Yes, at this time. Both migration and copy jobs are restricted at this time to using a single SD for source and destination, because there is no currently existing protocol in Bacula for one SD to communicate directly with another. (see 2nd answer here: http://bacula.10910.n7.nabble.com/Migration-Copy-jobs-from-Storage-daemon-to-another-td66239.html)

The only solution which comes to my mind is to mount the offsite-location with some lower-level protocol like nfs and use it from the same storage-daemon on the source-server.
