EFS is a different animal when you introduce network sharing. EFS is a
local file encryption technology. Any user that attempts to open the EFS
encrypted file will have to generate a local user profile for the
storage of the EFS encryption certificate and private key. In addition,
the computer account of the server (computerA in your case) must be
trusted for delegation to allow the computer to impersonate your
account.
Unless you start importing and exporting private keys between the
servers, you will be unable to connect to a remote encrypted file (or
implement roaming profiles or DIMS in the future).
I recommend you read up on the basics of EFS. Here are a few
whitepapers:
