Are you using Backup Exec
Are you using Backup Exec 13.0.2896 SP1 (Backup Exec 2010 Sp1)
or Backup Exec 13.0.4164 SP1 (Backup Exec 2010 R2 SP1)
If the former I would suggest you upgrade to the R2 version as we have fixed AVVI probelms in R2 that will not be resolved in the previous release. Also make sure Hotfix 146674 is installed over SP1 (taking care with the manual steps required after install http:www.symantec.com/docs/TECH147674 )
Note that Hotfix may not affect your actual problem but as it does affect AVVI is strongly recommended.
I can see that you are restoring directly back to an ESX host - was the backup also done directly from an ESX host - or was a vCenter server involved?
Was the Virtual machine originally created with Disks (vmdk files) in different datastores?

Which transport mode is used?
Which transport mode is used? SAN or NBD?
If using SAN, please try using NBD, to see what happens.
Please also make sure, that the backup account has "Full Administraor" permissions in the vCenter. (not in the Windows system, in vcenter itself)
