Have you resolved this yet? As Johannes asked, seeing the disklist might
help. In particular, if this host (hol1) has a lot of entries, you may
have banged into the UDP packet size problem. That problem is better at
2.4.2 (64 KBytes instead of 8 KBytes), and will eventually be eliminated.
If you can't upgrade that client and the server to 2.4.2, you can change
the 2.4.1p1 sources to use the larger size. Look for the definition of
MAX_DGRAM in common-src/dgram.h. Change it to 65536 and rebuild/reinstall
everything on both machines.
