This is a fairly serious issue for us, since it happens 4-5 times a day. These snapshots are created programmatically as part of a script... so when the snapshot creation fails... it's not like I can just re-run the snapshot create.

I can be on IRC to help anybody debug this issue. Just let me know when to be online. I am in the US/Eastern timezone.
