Hi all, This turned out to be a side-effect of contention on the SAN storage used by the mysql database, which was the same (slow, SATA) storage volume being used for ingesting mediapackages. This caused excessively slow response times to SQL queries (> 30s) when mediapackages were being pushed up, which presumably caused the CA updates to time out and log the error.
We moved the mysql files to faster different storage and the problem disappeared.

So this suggests something is going wrong with digest auth, but most of the time it works. Any ideas, or is there an existing JIRA for this? These are 1.3.x capture agents (not quite head of 1.3.x branch but close).
