Can you reproduce this locally (i.e. both primary & backup running on the same machine pointing to a shared directory)? If so, that indicates a problem with the broker itself. If not, that indicates a problem with either your configuration or environment (e.g. file-locking on NFS not working properly).
I just did a quick proof-of-concept with 2 brokers on the same machine in a share-store configuration and everything worked fine. I started the primary, and it activated properly. Then I started the backup, and it remained passive. I stopped the primary, and the backup activated as expected. I restarted the primary which initiated a fail-back so the backup restarted as passive and the primary activated. Without more details on your environment and/or configuration I can't really say what your problem might be.
