Just want to share this if someone else ends up with the same situation.
Did some tests in a virtual lab with BE2014 and a fresh install of RHEL7.
Before doing this I tested an earlier RHEL release which didn't have this behaviour.
I'm by no means a Linux guru so this may be obvious to some of you but if you end up with the same problem.....
Anyway after installing the RALUS agent and then adding it to the BE server I was not able to browse the server from BE.
It basically came back with "Failed to browse directory....."
Credential check for the server went ok but for the [ROOT] entry it failed.
In the beremote log it stated a failed state for "gvfs /run/user/1000" etc. when trying to browse the RHEL server.
Since 1000 is the account created during install I then logged out and logged in as root.
Since I had only used "su" and "sudo" from that 1000 account it never created the 0/root profile.
After that it created the 0 profile and the BE server was now able to browse the server.
