[mythtv-users] Write failures partway through mythutil --copyfile

In MythArchive import, which has recently been working as expected, I 
have just had this failure after part-writing video files. The parts 
transferred during re-runs of the mythutil command line for two examples 
are 152 MB (2m 06s) and 66 MB (3m 57s); the source files are 2.2 GB and 
1.5 GB.  Both SGs have adequate space available.  The CHANID implied by 
the filename (which is HD) does not exist on the importing machine, but 
MythArchive seems to have accepted one that does.  The files are SD 
converted from HD and play without problems. Any suggestions?

mythutil --copyfile --infile '/path_to_xxx.mpg' --outfile 
'myth://Default@192.168.1.4:6543/xxx.mpg'
