Can you check that the field "running db nodes" lists both nodes that you have started ? It could be that you did not add the second node to the mnesia cluster.
So if your second node was called BNode, then on the first node you would run these commands in this order:
1) mnesia:change_config(extra_db_nodes, [BNode]).
2) mnesia:add_table_copy(table, BNode, disc_copies).
Second: I think you should be creating the schema (step 3) before you start up mnesia on the disk_copy-to-be node (step 2).
This is what I did to create the schema you require:
Lets assume you have 2 nodes NodeA and NodeB.
Make sure that there is no Mnesia dir already existing before you start this.
%% From NodeA, setup the A node
erl -sname a -setcookie cookie
mnesia:start().
mnesia:create_table(mytable, [{attributes, [field1, field2]}]).
%% From NodeB, setup the B node
erl -sname b -setcookie cookie
net_adm:ping(NodeA).
mnesia:create_schema([node()]).
mnesia:start().
%% From NodeA, Add the NodeB to the mnesia cluster
[BNode | _] = nodes().
mnesia:change_config(extra_db_nodes, [BNode]).
%% From NodeA, add NodeB as a disc copy
mnesia:add_table_copy(mytable, BNode, disc_copies).
