600 is way too small; that's only 10 minutes,
and there will be files that take more than 10 minutes to process.
Frankly, I don't believe you should have ClientTimeout
set in your client files; having that set as a global default in
config.pl should be fine, and there the default is 72000 (as 20 hours,
or 20 times longer than what you have set now!).
I see and understand the value of the ClientTimeout
parameter, but I've found that in practice it is almost *never* triggered
correctly. The majority of times it is triggered is when a job is
legitimately taking a long time. That's why an extreme setting is
not so bad.
I've found that there is one place where I *do* set
it in the client config file: archive. Doing archives does
not seem to reset the alarm setting during the process (and I've asked
for help with this and gotten none). So, I've taken to seeting my
archive ClientTimeout to 720000 (as in 200 hours) so that they complete
without error.
