Thanks again for your assistance James and sorry for the delay in my reply.
As suggested, I made a backup of my test exchange and then tested a restore to the same test server. Low and behold, it worked (Huzzah!). This leaves me with one more question (always more questions...): Based on your response below, were you saying that you wanted to make sure that my configuration was correct before looking to deep? Or were you saying that you needed more time, in general, to make sure the Exchange plug-in works before working to add the functionality of a restore scenario like the one which initially prompted my post (backup server A restore to client B). That sort of restore capability would be fantastic, but I understand if this is not a high priority or something I should expect with the plugin. If there is any additional testing, or something I can do to provide you with more information please let me know.

The logs you gave appear to show bacula itself trying to restore the files when it should actually be giving them to the plugin to do the restore. Did you do any file redirection when restoring? That could cause some problems and shouldn't be required for the Exchange plugin - Exchange should figure out for itself where the files go. It's quite possible that this is a bug - I don't think I've ever tested the scenario of doing the exchange backup on one machine and restoring to another. I need to be absolutely sure that the plugin itself works on the target machine (eg that a test backup works) before I look too deeply at it.
