I suspect it's this combination that is causing the problems. From what I gather, TiVo Desktop operates differently on Australian TiVos. Instead of pulling encrypted MPEG files encapsulated in a Program Stream (PS) container, it pulls it in a Transport Stream (TS) container.

The TiVo will probably then reject these files, because they appear to be invalid.
The ReadyNAS built-in TiVo archival function will pull the files in PS format, so those files should work fine.
