I'm not near a computer, but I'm pretty sure when you setup your storage repository, you specify what it's used for. I'm guessing you don't have the VM storage selected.
That might be it. I did it a few attempts.
Is it possible to change it on the fly or do I have to set things up again?
Edit: Can I just edit storage.cfg, create the directories with the proper permissions and restart stuff? Would that work?
Edit2: Yep, that did it. Just edit /etc/pve/storage.cfg with the right repositories and it works like a charm. Thanks for putting me on the right track.
