One of the things I already tried was syncing 4x daily for a couple 
days.  But the problem continued, so I had changed it back to 2x.   My 
script runs at :45 (perhaps that has something to do with it).  I'll try 
changing the time as well as increasing the frequency to 4x again.  
Strangely, it seems to be working fine this weekend so I'll wait a 
little before making these changes.
