Thanks for that Peter, it looks like the datastores are in a folder, rather than at the top level. I feel silly saying this because it seems so obvious in retrospect, but it didn't occur to me that you could put datastores in folders.

The code to get the accessible datastores won't traverse a folder tree at the moment. We can change that. As a workaround in the meantime, is it feasible to move the datastores up to the top-level?

There are some wrinkles to how we handle datastores in folders - I think it would be better to keep the paths absolute for consistency with resource pools, but it's interesting that bootstrapping was able to find the datastore by unqualified name. I think that's because it finds the datastore by links from the host at that point in the code, rather than from the root datastores folder.
