We have just installed the pbs and created the first backups on a store called store1. As we can see, the files are really there:

Code:
root@pve-b01:~# proxmox-backup-client snapshot list
root@pve-b01:~# ls -lhaR /mnt/datastore/store1/ | more
/mnt/datastore/store1/:
total 1.1M
drwxr-xr-x 6 backup backup 4.0K Aug  9 13:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root      3 Jul 29 12:38 ..
drwxr-x--- 1 backup backup 1.1M Jul 29 12:38 .chunks
-rw-r--r-- 1 backup backup  310 Aug  9 13:09 .gc-status
-rw-r--r-- 1 backup backup    0 Jul 29 12:38 .lock
drwx------ 2 root   root    16K Jul 29 12:37 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x 3 backup backup 4.0K Aug  8 14:22 ns
drwxr-xr-x 3 backup backup 4.0K Aug  8 19:21 vm

/mnt/datastore/store1/.chunks:
total 258M
drwxr-x--- 1 backup backup 1.1M Jul 29 12:38 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 backup backup 4.0K Aug  9 13:09 ..
drwxr-x--- 2 backup backup 4.0K Aug  8 22:46 0000
drwxr-x--- 2 backup backup 4.0K Aug  9 08:38 0001
drwxr-x--- 2 backup backup 4.0K Aug  9 08:53 0002
drwxr-x--- 2 backup backup 4.0K Aug  9 07:53 0003
[...cut..]

We have the default repository set to
Code:
PBS_REPOSITORY=pbsadmin@pbs@pve-b01:8007:store1

The problem is,
Code:
proxmox-backup-client snapshot list
returns nothing....

Even if I create the backup on a separate client, i.e. a laptop, the backup is visable on the GUI (see attachements) but the cli tells me no snapshots.

journalctl gives me no hints. How to debug further? Is it a problem of user access rights?

Hi!
per default proxmox-backup-client snapshot list will only output the root snapshots and won't traverse all the namespaces. Try executing proxmox-backup-client snapshot list --ns clients.
