I was seeing similar error messages, until I registered for a different XMPP account at jabber.de and started using that instead of my gmail.com account.
My current suspicion is that it could be Google performing throttling on their XMPP service. See here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1843837/what-is-the-throttling-rate-that-gtalk-applies-to-xmpp-messages

Have you tried changing the repository group of the encrypted server to \"full backup\" instead of \"transfer\"?
I've just started experimenting with git-annex, and this setup (two possibly remote laptops, one encrypted server) seems to be working after very limited testing. I'm currently importing a larger collection of about 40000 files, will see if it still does (it seems whilst one client is transferring to the remote server, the other client laptop is not beeing synced; it did sync after my first batch of copying however.)

subject="use case: changing workstations mid-way through development session"
date="2014-03-23T21:22:15Z"
content="""
An important use case for me with automatic synchronization, is being able to change computers mid-way through a development session. I used to do this with dropbox for years: I'd work in a git checkout, then take another laptop to go work elsewhere, and just continue in the \"same\" synchronized git repo. Having to remember to commit and push a long list of repos before changing workstations is error-prone. Also, I prefer to commit when a discrete atom of work has been completed, and to push when a topic branch is good and ready to be merged (for example), not every time that I feel like changing workstations. :) Dropbox never dropped a stitch in all this time. As long as all laptops are in a 1) connected and 2) synced up state, switching is possible.
The limitation of not being able to sync the .git directories in git checkouts means that this use case can't currently be supported by git-annex (assistant). Is a work-around possible, or is this something that can't ever be supported due to the limitations of git itself?
