a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive

We need to move around 100 sites between 2 servers:

WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-S38
CentOS 4.4 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

However, when use use Copy Multiple Accounts, we get the following errors and no matter how we upgrade server software, system software, cpanel, we simply cannot resolve the problem:

The errors are as follows:

Packaging the account...
pkgacct started.
pkgacct version 4.2 - running with uid 0
using time::hires for speedups
We will be splitting the archive!!
rdate: rdate: could not set system time: Operation not permitted
Timeout ...

Anyone with the same problem and have already sorted this out?

 

No luck, I tried a few rdate sources, all returns:

rdate: rdate: could not set system time: Operation not permitted

 

Yes, both are VPS and we have copied sites over before even with the rdate being not permitted.

Our problem is not the rdate but the "timeout errors", which have in the past never been an issue.

Here's a more descriptive error:

We will be splitting the archive!!
