What version of 6.5 are you running? 6.5.1?

This one has me stuck.  We recently upgraded to NBU 6.5 and did not experience this problem with 5.1.  I have several images on tape I need to duplicate to two copies on other tapes so that I can send them off-site.  However, whenever I try to run the duplication job (just manually kicked off), it fails after 20 minutes every time (almost to the second).  These images are fairly large (about 100GB).  Here is what I've figured out so far:

-Running the duplication job with any smaller image that takes less than 20 minutes succeeds just fine
-Running the large duplication job with just a single copy works fine.
-Running the large duplication job with any combination of storage units or tape drives makes no difference.

Looking at the logs while this happens, I noticed that right as the job begins to fail, I get a lot of lines like this:

13:41:25.826 [9151] <2> drivename_open: Called with Create 1, file PP-L700-SDLT01
13:41:25.826 [9151] <2> drivename_lock: lock failed
13:41:25.826 [9151] <2> drivename_close: Called for file PP-L700-SDLT01
13:41:25.878 [9152] <2> drivename_open: Called with Create 1, file PP-L700-SDLT08
13:41:25.878 [9152] <2> drivename_lock: lock failed
13:41:25.878 [9152] <2> drivename_close: Called for file PP-L700-SDLT08
13:41:30.827 [9151] <2> drivename_open: Called with Create 1, file PP-L700-SDLT01
13:41:30.827 [9151] <2> drivename_lock: lock failed

It's always at that mysterious 20 minute mark and if I'm trying to make more than 1 copy.  It's like there's some limit somewhere that was implemented on 6.5.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,
Brian Beaird
