Sorry for my late response.

Do both systems run recent versions of DragonFly? We had a change back
in 2010 [1] that would fail between two 64-bit machines. But I strongly
doubt this is the reason. Well then maybe your network is unreliable? 

Another thing you could test is to do a fresh mirror-copy, i.e.

   hammer mirror-copy /pfs/hg remotemachine@/pfs/new-hg

where /pfs/new-hg on remotemachine does not exist. If this works, it's
no network related problem.
