Further to Steve's answer.

Is the computer a member of the same forest as the server where you are
attempting to encrypt/decrypt the file? My guess is no, which is why you
are using NTLM authentication rather than Kerberos. Only Kerberos
allows Kerberos impersonation, which is enabled when you configure that
the server computer is trusted for delegation. The server impersonates
the user, generates a profile, and either generates or uses the EFS key
pair in that profile for encryption.

If it is a member of the same forest, is there anything preventing
Kerberos authentication. Common issues include the incorrect SPN or the
inability to resolve the server's FQDN in DNS.
