I've never seen this...  Right now the only thing I can think of is to
set the verbosity pretty high (-v7 maybe) and send me the logfile or
relevant parts of the logfile.  Also, when you abort it, do it with
Control-C and send me the traceback.

    Verbosity 9 should definitely provide enough information since all
network traffic gets logged and dated, but that can increase backup
times by a lot (factor of 5?) so maybe try -v7 first.
