Hello Jyh-Shyong, 

Do either of those computers mount NFS drives or have the nfs service
active?  While I can't speak for SuSE, I've run into several problems
with NFS and RedHat Enterprise Server 3.0 U2 and U3 with relation to
the image being able to be retrieved.  Once I stopped NFS services and
ran the prepareclient again (which kills and restarts rsync) I was
able to successfully retrieve images.  Might be something to check.

Hope this helps,
