Windows Server Backup 2008 - Language Incompatibilities?

Question

I have 2 Windows 2008 Server R2 machines - one is Japanese language based and the other English. When I try to connect from the English language server using Windows Server Backup (snap-in) I get the following message:

"An internal error has occurred in the backup engine or the computer that you are connected to remotely is running a version of backup application that is not compatible with the version on your local computer"

Both claim to be running Version 1 of Windows Server Backup. Is remote connection to non-identical language server OSs a known problem?

Specifically this is seen when attempting the "Connect To Another Server" in the action pane of Windows Server Backup.

Have you installed the Microsoft Multilingual packs into the English system(s)? A quick Google search yields: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=03831393-eef7-48a5-a69f-0ce72b883df2&displaylang=en
