Here's what is going on. Even when you say "never run this resource on node3"
pacemaker is going to probe for the resource regardless on node3 just to verify
the resource isn't running.

The failures you are seeing "monitor_0 failed" indicate that pacemaker failed
to be able to verify resources are running on node3 because the related 
packages for the resources are not installed. Given pacemaker's default
behavior I'd expect this.

You have two options.

1. install the resource related packages on node3 even though you never want
them to run there. This will allow the resource-agents to verify the resource
is in fact inactive.

2. If you are using the current master branch of pacemaker, there's a new
location constraint option called 'resource-discovery=always|never|exclusive'.
If you add the 'resource-discovery=never' option to your location constraint
that attempts to keep resources from node3, you'll avoid having pacemaker
perform the 'monitor_0' actions on node3 as well.
