This has happened to me on several occasions. Not a timeout per se, but the connection drops or something like that. There are ways to make the the rm process nearly immortal. But I simply reconnect and restart the command. The files that were deleted do not come back... they stay gone. So you don't lose any progress.

pmreconnectcontext
PMRECONNECTCONTEXT(3) Library Functions Manual PMRECONNECTCONTEXT(3)
NAME
pmReconnectContext - reconnect to a PMAPI context
C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
int pmReconnectContext(int handle);
cc ... -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
As a consequence of network, host or Performance Metrics Collector Daemon (PMCD) failures, an applications connection to a PMCD may be
established and then subsequently lost.
The routine pmReconnectContext allows an application to request that the context identified by handle should be re-established, provided
the associated PMCD is accessible.
To avoid flooding the system with reconnect requests, pmReconnectContext will only attempt a reconnection after a suitable delay from the
previous unsuccessful attempt to reconnect this context. This imposed restriction on the reconnect re-try time interval uses an exponential
back-off so that the initial delay is 5 seconds after the first unsuccessful attempt, then 10 seconds, then 20 seconds, then 40 seconds and
then 80 seconds thereafter.
The environment variable PMCD_RECONNECT_TIMEOUT may be used to redefine the back-off intervals, see PMAPI(3).
If the reconnection succeeds, pmReconnectContext returns handle.
If handle identifies a context associated with an archive source of metrics, pmReconnectContext does nothing and returns handle.
Calling pmReconnectContext with a handle identifying a currently connected context will cause the connection to be broken before any recon-
nection is attempted.
Note that even in the case of a successful reconnection, pmReconnectContext does not change the current Performance Metrics Application
Programming Interface (PMAPI) context.
When attempting to connect to a remote pmcd(1) on a machine that is booting, pmReconnectContext could potentially block for a long time
until the remote machine finishes its initialization. pmReconnectContext will abort and return an error if the connection has not been
established after some specified interval has elapsed. The default interval is 5 seconds. This may be modified by setting PMCD_CON-
NECT_TIMEOUT in the environment to a real number of seconds for the desired timeout. This is most useful in cases where the remote host is
at the end of a slow network, requiring longer latencies to establish the connection correctly.
ENVIRONMENT
PMCD_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
Timeout period (in seconds) for pmcd(1) connection attempts.
PMCD_RECONNECT_TIMEOUT
Redefines the back-off intervals - refer to PMAPI(3).
SEE ALSO
pmcd(1), PMAPI(3), pmNewContext(3) and pmUseContext(3).
DIAGNOSTICS
PM_ERR_NOCONTEXT
handle does not identify a valid PMAPI context
-ETIMEDOUT
The re-try time has not elapsed, or the reconnection is attempted and fails.
CAVEAT
Applications that use gethostbyname(3) should exercise caution because the static fields in struct hostent may not be preserved across some
PMAPI(3) calls. In particular, pmNewContext(3) and pmReconnectContext(3) both may call gethostbyname(3) internally.
