From what I can tell, you made it a fair way in the backup process,
getting to volume 556 before failing. This tells me there is no setup
or other issue that could be a problem. What I suspect is that the
network itself failed long enough to cause the backup to fail. Its
possible that increasing the number of retries will help, setting
--num-retries=20 or higher, for example.
Do the failures happen on the same machines, or is it random? If there
are multiple failures, are they at the same time of day?

If the password was being requested, it would have happened on the first
volume. You made it to volume 556 before the problem started.

Excellent job on the build script. Mind if I post it to the web site?
