Are they outdoors? If so, I've seen this on other plants before & suspicious of acid rain! But really don't know.
Once bitten by the cactus collecting/growing bug, there is no known cure!
There's no 12 step programme for Cactaholics...so I shall just have to get some more!!

Could be rust, try watering with a systemic fungicide. :)
