Ok the issue is fixed.

Turns out that all new LUNs were being owned by controller B.  Moving
ownership to A worked.

Apparently I have to change up my network structure a bit to get all
the controllers to work correctly.  I'm already planning on changing
it up so I'll correct the issue then.  It doesn't seem right since
Windows could see the LUNs but I can't really argue with the results.

Thanks for your input Joseph!
