Sorta looks like something related to the catalog to me more than the
system. Probably what I would do is a dbcheck and or DB
consistency/repair (I skimmed but I don't see anyplace obvious where the
DB type was listed) and make sure there are no odd temporary files on
either the client or the server, particularly any that might have the
wrong ownership somehow (like owned by root whereas your current runtime
user may well not be root).

You may have already thought of all of that, but if not, it's somewhere
to start. I'm assuming you already would have checked for any TCP/IP
oddities (netstat, etc.). As for the results always being the same, is
there any "same spot" that the job fails? I'm not sure how obvious it
would be as I bet a most of the numbers change every time.

Also, what else might this job have in common with other jobs that DO
work so we can rule it out? Is the media different or the same or what
have you?
