Unable to send phonehome message to deployment server. BUT It is connected!??

Im having an issue with a remote forwarder I have set up where it is seemingly not getting connected to my deployment server.

08-31-2011 13:57:16.932 WARN DeploymentClient - Unable to send phonehome message to deployment server. Error status is: not_connected

08-31-2011 13:58:16.932 WARN DeploymentClient - Unable to send phonehome message to deployment server. Error status is: not_connected

08-31-2011 23:00:46.968 WARN DeploymentClient - Unable to send phonehome message to deployment server. Error status is: not_connected

That part that is throwing me off is when I go to the deployment-server and run bin/splunk list deploy-clients, The Forwarder in question shows up every time, maintaining its phone home timestamps and everything, so it appears that it is making connections just fine.

Where else can I look to find out what the issue is?

Thanks in advance!

Can you send the output of a netstat -tl command on the deployment server?

Also, make sure iptables/fw is not blocking port 8089 or whatever the splunkd process is listening on.
