I deleted and re-added PBS storage to my PVE cluster (proxa, proxb, and proxc) using the PVE web UI. After some messing around with users and permissions I was able to get the Backups2 storage added as 'pbs'.

Now on proxa I can see "pbs (proxa)" and all the backups etc..

On proxb and proxc the storage shows up with a '?' icon and the message:

pbs: Cannot find datastore 'Backups2', check permissions and existence! (500)

is shown.

I don't understand why the storage is showing up on one node but not all 3?
 
please post

- pveversion -v
- /etc/pve/storage.cfg
- pvesm status

on all nodes. thanks!
 
do you see a request on the PBS system from nodes b and c when you run "pvesm status" there? is "pbs.merwood.com" resolved using DNS, and is it possible something is messed up there and node b and c talk to a different PBS system?
