I can create a sparsebundle on my desktop then drag it to 'Backup' and it copies just fine...
That's because when it's created on Desktop it has enough permission to be copied to /Volumes/Backup, but that volume itself doesn't have enough permission for the sparse bundle to be created directly on it.

If you run this command in a Terminal shell:

sudo touch /Volumes/Backup/deleteme

… my guess is it'll return this error:

touch: /Volumes/Backup/deleteme: Permission denied

I don't know what to suggest so authenticated apps like SD! and Disk Utility will have the access they need to it; sorry.
