New to Availabilty Groups and cannot get backups to work

I tried to use SSMS 2014 maintenance plans to backup databases I am testing in an Availability group. I am failing badly.

I have the Availability Groups set to "Prefer Secondary" on both the primary and the secondary. I created the same Full Backup Maintenance plan on both the Primary and Replica nodes. I tried executing the maintenance plans from both nodes.... they fail on both. I looked in the Server Log and see this message:

From Primary
========
BackupDiskFile::OpenMedia: Backup device 'J:\Backup\forms\forms_backup_2015_03_16_154013_0667087.bak' failed to open. Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.).

From Secondary
==========
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE forms. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.

The Oracle guys feel you need to write a script and it cannot ne performed from SSMS.... has anyone completed this process. If so, please let me know what I am missing.

Thanks!

Charlie
