I've seen some similar problems with darcs get, when I initially
started my mirroring game. Killing darcs and restarting from scratch
helped, so I guess it's some annoying race condition.

If you didn't kill it already, seeing wether it's doing any system calls
(especially IO) may give a hint, i.e.
p=$(pidof darcs)
strace -p $p
And a list of open file descriptors (lsof -p $p) may help, too.
