I have one cluster across two servers which has a number of snapshots stored within a shared repository.

I have another cluster across the same two servers, but when I test whether it can locate the same repo (it is defined with it's path.repo setting in the config):

`GET _snapshot`

Returns:

`{}`

Is the first cluster somehow blocking other clusters from accessing its repository?? I don't understand what else would be causing this.
