vCOPS 5 problem with datastores

I installed vCenter Ops Standard 5 and got it up and running. I have several red alerts in the dashboard, but the root cause of them all seems to be this one:

TRIGGER: System Degradation

RESOURCE: vCenter Server

DETAILS: Data collection from vCenter Storage Management Service failed. Please ensure vCenter Storage Management Webservice is started and Storage Management Service is functioning.

When I look at the "vCenter Service Status" everything is green. Any ideas on what to check?

This post helped me; when I changed the logon for the management webservices service from a local user account to "Local System," it cleared up the issue.
