You mentioned you're running gentoo on the machine in question. Some more information might help:
What profile are you using? (ls -l /etc/make.profile) What kernel and version? If 2.6 are you using udev? Are you using ntpl with 2.6? I'm inclined to suspect that either this is due to an obscure configuration issue, or there's some hidden problem with system libs or something that makes the filesystem scanning process lag a lot. This is just guess at this point, but the info I asked for above might help. Also, you might check to see if the remote machine has a firewall rule with "-m limit" that drops packet bursts over a particular limit per time which might be interfering with communication between the fd and the director. This was mentioned with an issue before and I didn't notice that anyone ever determined if it can be a problem or not.
