`movescu` works with separate `storescp` but not with `--store` argument #997

I hope somebody can help me troubleshoot my issue. I am able to retrieve a test image using separate storescp and movescu processes as follows:

# Terminal 1
sudo storescp -v -aet $my_aet -od $output_dir 104

# Terminal 2
movescu -v -aet $my_aet -aec $pacs_aet -aem $my_aet -S -k QueryRetrieveLevel="IMAGE" -k SOPInstanceUID="$iid" $PACS_IP $PACS_PORT

However, when I try using the --store arguments with movescu, it fails:

sudo movescu -v -aet $my_aet -aec $pacs_aet -aem $my_aet -S -k QueryRetrieveLevel="IMAGE" -k SOPInstanceUID="$iid" --store --store-port 104 --store-aet $my_aet $PACS_IP $PACS_PORT

Gives:

I: Move SCP Results: 0xA702 (Failure)

The association is accepted and it gives an initial pending response before failing.

I have to use sudo to open port 104, my connection to PACS only allows that port.

What's the full log with the --store option look like (-d without identifying information)?

Hi there. Thank you for responding. I'm attaching the outputs of the movescu command with --store that fails, the movescu command with a separate storeSCP that succeeds (other parameters the same) and the output from the separate storeSCP corresponding to the successful move. I've replaced the SOPInstanceUID with 'anon'.

I've confirmed the same result running the storescp command that works and the movescu --store that doesn't from the same root shell instance with the same environment variables. (The stand-alone movescu is run in a separate, non-root instance with the same envs).

# fails:
# from root instance
movescu -v -aet $AET -aec $AEC -aem $AET -S -k QueryRetrieveLevel=IMAGE -k SOPInstanceUID="$iid" --store --store-aet $AET --store-port $LOCAL_PORT -od $out $PACS_IP $PACS_PORT

# works:
# from same root instance
storescp -v -aet $AET -od $out $LOCAL_PORT
# from a different non-root instance
movescu -v -aet $AET -aec $AEC -aem $AET -S -k QueryRetrieveLevel=IMAGE -k SOPInstanceUID="$iid" $PACS_IP $PACS_PORT

Can you check the following:

In terminal A start pynetdicom's qrscp on port 11112: python -m pynetdicom qrscp -d
In terminal B send some data to the qrscp: python -m pynetdicom storescu localhost 11112 *.dcm
In terminal B run movescu: python -m pynetdicom movescu -d -aem STORESCU -S -k QueryRetrieveLevel=STUDY -k PatientID=* --store --store-port 11113 --store-aet STORESCP localhost 11112

The default config for qrscp is here and if you need some test datasets to send there are some here.

My log for the above

I really appreciate the time you're putting into this. I don't have in-depth knowledge to interpret the logs, but here goes. One difference is that I'm using pynetdicom v.2.1.0 and you are on 3.0.0.

My logs in terminal B for step three are the same as yours up to line 184, then end prematurely:
