Exchange mailstores not backing up when when one of the server cluster nodes is active.

Hi,
 
I have an active/passive Microsoft server cluster on which my Exchange resides.  When the A node is active, backups work properly, however when the B node is active the backup jobs shows as running in the Backup Exec 10d Job Monitor, but nothing happens.  Exchange functions properly when on the B node, but the backups don't run - no error messages.
 
The cluster servers have identical hardware and software:
Windows Server 2003 SP1
Exchange 2003 SP2 is installed on both servers.
Backup Exec 10d Remote Agent installed on both servers.
 
Seperate jobs backup the mailstores which reside on the SAN, as well as local drives and shared drives which are also on the SAN.
 
I need to know why backups don't work on the B cluster node, are there any logs on the Exchange servers I can look at which could show any differences between the cluster nodes?  What can I check or do to investigate the problem?
 
Anyone have any ideas?
 
Thanks!
