Seems like target host does not support thin provisioned disks. What about backup jobs? Do you see the same error message? Also can you please tell me if you're planning to upgrade your virtual infrastructure to VMwsare vSphere?

If you replicate from ESX3.5 to ESX3.5, you can go to Destination page of the job, click "Pick datastore" and edit all the disks from "Thin disk" to "Same as source". After that your replication jobs should work fine.
