Issue with Distributed Trunking and pings

Recently we've configured 4 HP switches which are using Distributed trunking. See picture

switches_ping_issue.png

So the problem is this.

Rack 4 has 2 switches (Left on the picture). One of these switches is the root bridge for the STP instance.

Rack 6 has also 2 switches (Right on the picture). One of these switches is the root bridge for this STP instance.

 

What is failing:

From 10.0.0.13 I am unable to ping 10.0.0.17  and vice versa. I am however able to ping the directly connected switches from 10.0.0.13 as well as from 10.0.0.17

What is going on?
