msdeploy error: Unable to read data from the transport connection

Hi,

 I am trying to sync a local directory to a remote location using the following command:

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:contentPath=C:\temp\qa2008\ -dest:contentPath=C:\temp\ignitionpg\,computerName=QA2008.glovia.com,username=
administrator,password=xxxx -debug

 But I am getting the following error:

Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentAgentUnavailableException: Could not complete the request to remote agent URL 'http://qa2008.glovia.com/MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE'. ---> System.Net.We
bException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An exist

Any ideas?
