For future advance help, if you see that A is not working but B is, basic troubleshooting would be finding out what is different in A and B.

Why not next time give your computer a fancy name (in sharing settings) and keep the volume names simple, as in one word.

I myself have named my mac mini m1 fully loaded computer as "MM" and my macbook air m2 fully loaded laptop as "MA". Both internal drives are named "Ventura" and I have absolutely zero possibility of messing up which is which.

(

If you open terminal and see what you find from /Volumes, having a one-word volume name helps to navigate efficiently using command line

Code:
admin@MM /Volumes % ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   5 root   wheel  160 Nov  1 22:50 .
drwxr-xr-x  20 root   wheel  640 Oct 18 15:36 ..
drwxr-xr-x   4 root   wheel  128 Apr 14  2022 .timemachine
drwxrwxr-x@ 16 admin  staff  512 Oct  7 13:12 External
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root   wheel    1 Nov  1 22:49 Ventura -> /
admin@MM /Volumes %
)

I'm late to the party, but FYI... I updated avid.secure.force.com/pkb/articles/Error_Message/en327321 to reflect this. Thank you for closing the loop with your reply!
