directio connection from onprem to AKS - missing metaInfo

We have us-dataland-dev setup with directio enabled. Onprem dataland is configured to talk to it with this setup in the env.xml

<RemoteStorage>
  <remote name="usdatalanddevaks" service="http://10.146.180.5:8520" useDafilesrv="true"/>
</RemoteStorage>

As we do not have SSL certs setup in us-dataland-dev, I've setup DFS to have auth: none and had Tony Kirk run a test against it. The error occurs when ran on either hthor or thor. Error as seen in ECLWatch:

System error: 1: Could not open logical file ~remote::usdatalanddevaks::tkirk::test in any of these locations: //10.146.180.16:7200/var/lib/HPCCSystems/hpcc-data/tkirk/test._1_of_400 //10.146.180.16:7200/var/lib/HPCCSystems/hpcc-data/tkirk/test._1_of_400 (115)

The error as seen from the direct-access pod:
