could you post the output of "systemctl show ssd-docs-oreilly.mount"? note that none of this is PVE, it's all systemd
one thing that you might need to add is an explicit dependency on the mountpoint where the iso file is located - e.g., if it is on one of your non-/ ZFS pools, those need to be imported and mounted first.. "man fstab" has more details on the syntax and what not, but you can also write a mount unit instead of the fstab line if you are more comfortable with that.
Here it is:
