CVSup not working..

I'm having issues with CVSup on a particular FreeBSD machine sitting 
inside my local network.  I repeatedly get this error:

Detailer failed: Network read failure: Connection timed out

CVSup is able to download a couple of files at first, and then it seems 
to halt for some unknown reason (network/disk).  I'm able to 
successfully sync via CVSup from another local FreeBSD using the same FW.

I tried replacing my nic, using alternate cvsup servers, updating my 
bois, re-installing the OS, and running the machine on the outside 
network but nothing has remedied the problem.  I will run memtest86 
overnight to see if there's a memory module issue.  I ran ktrace/kdump 
to see if the problem presented itself but nothing stuck out.

Below I've attached some output about CVSup and am hoping someone might 
be able to help shed some light.  I have a ktrace file, but choose not 
to attach it until I have exhausted all possibilities.
