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.
