Well, I was able to track it down, it's being caused by the throttle on
the monitor operations for resources.

Basically, any time a shared resource is referenced more than once, it
will not get monitored for the 2nd+ time it's referenced.  This is
because it keeps track of the last time the resource was checked at the
resource level, and if it hasn't been more time than the amount of time
the monitor attribute says is the interval, it doesn't run the monitor
operation on it.

So here's a patch that seems to fix it in my quick testing, but I'm not
sure if it's the best way to fix the bug.  It copies the action list for
the resource to the resource_node when a resource is referenced.  It
then uses that copy of the action list when doing status checks.


Perhaps a better way would be to make a copy of the struct for the
shared resource_t any time it's referenced, rather than just using the
same one for all resource_node_t.  I'm willing to write up this patch if
you think it's a better course of action.
