As I remember, the installation procedures like to put the DECServer
downloads and database into the SYS$SPECIFIC:[DECSERVER].  We created
SYS$COMMON:[DECSERVER] and moved all the files from the specific
area of the initial install node.

You already stated that MOM$LOAD is defined on both nodes so that should
be OK.  Here is how SHOW LOGICAL MOM$LOAD shows on our system:
   "MOM$LOAD" = "SYS$SYSROOT:[DECSERVER]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
        = "SYS$COMMON:[MOM$SYSTEM]"
Another thing to check is that you are using a common DECnet database.
On both nodes do "NCP> SHOW NODE name CHARACT" where name is the name
(DECnet node name) of one of your DECServers.  This information should
be in NETNODE_REMOTE.DAT (common portion of DECnet node database)
in SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE].  If only one node shows the information,
make sure this file is where it belongs.  If neither node shows
the information, then do an
	@SYS$SYSROOT:[DECSERVER]DSVCONFIG  RESTORE
to restore the information from the DECServer database into the
network database (we do this after every boot in a batch job).

That's all the ideas I have for now...
