The server tells the client to abort a result only when
1) the result isn't in the DB
2) the result's WU was cancelled.
In either case, it writes a string of the form
  "[HOST#%d]: Send result_abort for result %s; reason: %s\n"
to the scheduler log.

So scan your scheduler log and see if you're getting any of these.
