This might be a long shot, but it could be a network conflict. Is the file you are moving quite large? It is possible that there is a mismatch somewhere from the Network Interface Card (NIC) on one server and the NIC on the other. The usual place if between a server and the first switch it connects to. I've experienced this where one server thought it was running the NIC and 10Mb/Half Duplex and the switch had it forced to 100Mb/Full duplex. Normal on-line access was fine until we did an FTP, then not only did the FTP take ages, but users got broken responses sometimes getting partial screen updates/output.
Have a look at the output from both lsattr and entstat to see if you can spot anything immediate. For me, the output is:-
You can also look at the full output from entstat and check for send/receive errors:-
There are some errors, but relative to the number of packets, it's insignificant. Check with the network team about the switch port settings and confirm that they all think that they're doing the same. We force our speeds to match as we have had some problems with auto-negotiate. Other people swear by auto-negotiate, so work out what is best for you.

rcp
RCP(1) General Commands Manual RCP(1)NAME
rcp - remote file copy
SYNOPSIS
rcp [-p] file1 file2
rcp [-pr] file ... directory
DESCRIPTION
Rcp copies files between machines. Each file or directory argument is either a remote file name of the form ``rhost:path'', or a local
file name (containing no `:' characters, or a `/' before any `:'s).
If the -r option is specified and any of the source files are directories, rcp copies each subtree rooted at that name; in this case the
destination must be a directory.
By default, the mode and owner of file2 are preserved if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file modified by the umask(2)
on the destination host is used. The -p option causes rcp to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its copies the modification times and
modes of the source files, ignoring the umask.
If path is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to your login directory on rhost. A path on a remote host may be quoted (using
, ", or ') so that the metacharacters are interpreted remotely.
Rcp does not prompt for passwords; your current local user name must exist on rhost and allow remote command execution via rsh(1).
Rcp handles third party copies, where neither source nor target files are on the current machine. Hostnames may also take the form
``rname@rhost'' to use rname rather than the current user name on the remote host. The destination hostname may also take the form
``rhost.rname'' to support destination machines that are running 4.2BSD versions of rcp.
SEE ALSO cp(1), ftp(1), rsh(1), rlogin(1).
BUGS
Doesn't detect all cases where the target of a copy might be a file in cases where only a directory should be legal.
Is confused by any output generated by commands in a .profile, or .*shrc file on the remote host.
