I was having the same behavior this very week! But I was using version 1.2.6-59.
Like you, this is something that I do all the time, and I was quite puzzled. In my situation, I was wanting to perform a restore, overwriting the existing NTFS partition. I tried this repeatedly, always resulting in the same failure that you described. I even put a different NIC in the machine, and that didn't matter. I began to think that the error itself might be masking a completely different problem that the onscreen clonezilla errors did not mention. I booted the machine to a mini-XP CD and ran 'chkdsk c: /f' on the target partition. After that, I was able to restore my image. I don't know if this was actually the issue, or if I just got lucky.
