Paul,

I used the UUID and wondered if the other parameters were wrong. I had
'default  1  2' as the options and just changed them to the above.

I mis-typed. I meant to type salmo-data. That is the first vault displayed
so I use it for testing.

Ah! I followed this example in the howto-dirvish doc:
sarah:~#  dirvish --vault other.example.com --init

Using the correct syntax produced this:

# dirvish --vault salmo-data --init
The authenticity of host '[salmo.appl-ecosys.com]:<redacted> ([192.168.55.1]:<redacted>)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:/RInRdtcIMbpPu3LZmpg5wfAWi9ozQwgKLPnTQEDcxg.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '[salmo.appl-ecosys.com]:14982,[192.168.55.1]:14982' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
Permission denied (publickey).
salmo-data:default pre-client failed (65280)

I redacted the ssh port number.
