Solution

Consider using Instant VM Recovery to recover guest files from such VMs. See: http://www.veeam.com/kb1459
 
As a long term solution to allow the FLR to work as expected considering moving the data off the storage spaces drive to regular single VMDK backed drive.
 
Note that Microsoft does not support Storage Spaces within a VM.
