Setting up SRM5 and vSphere Replication in a lab environment. I have two sites setup with their own vCenter servers in linked mode. Install of the VRMS and VRS appliances went as advertised with no errors. When I enable replication on one VM, it reports "Configure Replication Successful" with no errors. However, in SRM under vSphere Replication, the VM shows up as "Not Active". Hitting "Synchronize Now" results in an error:
Call "HmsGroup.OnlineSync" for object "GID<bunch of stuff>" on Server "<server ip>" failed. An unknown error has occurred.
Investigating the vmkernel logs on the ESXi host with the source VM I found this:

The persistent state file it says it can't find is there. Any ideas?
