Hi Chris,
Return code 11 means that the client was not able to write a chunk,
after having retried for several times if it was a timeout or network
problem, or after having received an explicit error from the server.
Even if you have the server log at a low level, you should be able to
spot if there are complaints before that line that you quoted (which
states that xrdcp gave up)
If not, then the cause might be a temporary network trouble (but quite
long) or a heavy overload on the server side disks. I remember also that
XrdClient, and hence xrdcp, long time ago (about 1 year) had much
shorter timeouts, and hence was more prone to this kind of troubles. Are
you using a reasonably recent version of it?
