olpc-updating from another XO

I'm trying to update an XO (with build 656) from another XO (currently
joyride 2133 or so).

(I have tried about 10 times to olpc-update this XO over the Internet
but sooner or later it always fails, and when I retry it starts over.
This is using up my pay-per-GB bandwidth very fast.)

Following the directions on
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Olpc-update#Update_Using_Another_Laptop I
set up the hints file. However I get the following when running
olpc-update -vv --hints hints.json:

bash-3.2# olpc-update -vv --hints hints.json

'/versions/updates/a8cd0f3b4a6f9117ec3947c02f060d04.contents']'
returned non-zero exit status 23
No more update methods to try.

Is the version of olpc-update on 656 perhaps too old? Anything else I can try?

Here's my hints.json:

["a8cd0f3b4a6f9117ec3947c02f060d04","normal",[["rsync","rsync://192.168.8.76/pristine/a8cd0f3b4a6f9117ec3947c02f060d04"]]]
