Which version of CS it is? I remember the similar issue in 4.2 and I think it got fixed in later versions.

Right now it's impossible to copy templates when using S3 storage for the reasons I mentioned in my last response. It's also apparently impossible (without database editing) to make a template cross-zone when creating it from a snapshot or volume. Only allowing cross-zone templates when registering them from a URL is stupid.
