Description

The import for PolicyBaseFordwarding uses wong xpath to try creating rules

The xpath to use should be /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/rulebase/pbf/rules"

It tries on config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/pbf/rules which is documented on https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/pan-os-python/blob/develop/panos/policies.py

Change " self._xpaths.add_profile(value="/pbf/rules") " to self._xpaths.add_profile(value="/rulebase/pbf/rules")

Any attempt to create a PBF
