I'm a bit concerned as to where this is coming from and the same on
the master side. I wonder if the problem is related to undelivered
messages stored on the master. Could you try putting your mosquitto.db
to one side on the master and the slave and restarting them?

If this works it only fixes the symptom not the problem, but it's
useful to know what's going on.

This is down to ACLs being applied to local bridges but having no
mechanism to set a local username/password as well as a remote
username/password. I did fix it so that local bridges aren't
constrained by local ACLs but it looks like that change has gone
astray in some code rearrangement. I've put the fix back in if you
want to give it a try.

Cheers,
