Not exactly what you are asking for, but since the problem target is
windows you are probably hitting a file that windows has locked, and
the solution might be to use windows VSS snapshots.
Another possibility (and the only time I've ever seen this happen) is
that there might be a large file which is causing a timeout. It was
on a Linux box here, something went off the reservation and started
writing gigabytes of messages to a file called '.xsession-errors'.
On Linux, by default, filenames beginning with a dot aren't displayed
by the command 'ls -l' so it took longer to spot than it should have. :/
