snapmirror socket error

na002 - > na009 ( snapmirror now happening ) source - > dr
both are 8.1 ; mirror is happening every 30 min


vfiler in na009 is in stopped condition. Aggregate got full here, so we decided to move the dr volume to another filer


I did
vfiler dr configure command and vol got moved to another box na021
all looks good, vfiler got created. snapmirror was in unitialized state


when I start snapmirror : I'm getting this weired error

any idea what is going on here ????

snapmirror.access list is fine

My thought is : do we need to break the original mirror ????? which was going from na002 to na009
