Interesting, because I was just doing a bunch of snapmirror initialize this past week from an 3220 pair to a 3250 7-mode pair running 8.2.x or something like that. I had no problems with starting my snapmirrors when I had just done:
ssh filer snapmirror initialize -S 3220:/vol/foo /foo
and it worked just fine, and my 3250s are kinda sorta really old and over 50% busy, but not really critical.

Does it ever come back if you wait a long time? Where are you doing your SSH connections from? I do have to now do the following from my newer Linux hosts:
ssh -oCiphers=+3des-cbc user@filer
Which might be an issue?
