Hi Brian,
I think you are falling in two problems:
1) [data timeout]: the server does not receive data or EOF for long time
2) you are using a lev 1 dump without differences against the lev 0 dump
(I guess).
Force using lev 0 and stop indexing during this phase...

Can you see the growing of dump file on server during dump?
