OpenNebula will create a new Image in the same datastore as the original Image, and then you can clone that new img to a different DS [2] (in the same zone). Moving images to a different zone is not supported. To do that, you can take the image file from the DS, the file's path is stored in the SOURCE attribute shown in 'oneimage show <id>'. This will be straight forward for file-based datastores, not so much for other type of drivers. Then register a new image in the new zone as usual.
