I get this quite a lot. It probably doesn't help you as you said the 
inconvenience is the time wasted, but in the end I gave up investigation 
and learned to live with it. I modified my scripts to cope. Here's a 
typical shell code snippet for how I cope with it. It seems quite robust 
and I just live with the timeouts.


((count=1))
until /usr/bin/sitecopy --update plusnet_photos
do
       echo "FAILED: /usr/bin/sitecopy --update plusnet_photos - 
Attempt: $count"
       ((count++))
       sleep 180
       /usr/bin/sitecopy --fetch plusnet_photos
done
if [[ $count -gt 1 ]] ; then
       echo "SUCCESS: /usr/bin/sitecopy --update plusnet_photos - 
Attempt: $count"
fi
