REST service 'external_task/count' returns 0 - but there are running instances

Hi

In the cockpit it shows 55 running instances of an external task. However when the batch job uses the REST service to consume the task, the result is 0. Any idea of what is going wrong, or what to look at (internal tables etc) to find the problem.

The REST call:
GET /engine-rest/engine/tapas/external-task/count?topicName=ngoMigExtTaskTopic&notLocked=true&active=true&withRetriesLeft=true HTTP/1.0
Content-Type: application/json; encoding=UTF-8
Authorization: Basic §§§AUTHORIZATION_STRING§§§
Content-Length: §§§CONTENT_LENGTH§§§

This only seems to happen on one test node. On other nodes, all seems to be Ok.
