Posture Dashboards not saving when generated

Hi,
We're running a freshly installed installation of Enterprise (v 8.01) across:
3x Search Heads
3x Indexers (Rep factor 3, search 2)
1 Master, deployer and deployment server.

I have installed Security Essentials, and deployed it to the search heads via the deployer (shcluster/apps folder) - and then run the Data Source Check (after first bookmarking a few items earlier).

When the data source check is complete, I click on 'create posture dashboard' - which then allows me to select a number of reports based on User, network and Host.

If I select some and click Create Dashboards, it appears to have done something - but clicking on the link for the dashboard, it results in a 404 (not found) error.

I have checked permissions to the folder, and the Splunk server has read-write access. I have used the _bump method that we were advised to use by our support contacts.

I am able to create and save dashboards within the app.

I have logged directly into the search heads rather than via the Load balancer, and it makes no difference.
I have removed and reinstalled the application a few times.

I have updated the app to the very latest release available via SplunkBase.

All hosts are Centos 7
