secure VPN Connection terminated by peer reason 433 (reason not specified by Peer)

We have an ASA 5510 with IOA 8.0(2), were using XP systems with VPN client ver. 5.0.2.0090
We have been getting an intermittent error "secure VPN Connection terminated by peer reason 433 (reason not specified by Peer)"
If the users keep trying they are eventually able to connect, (sometimes after 1-3 attempts, sometimes not for 8+hrs)

We have users at various field sites using Comcast cable, Qwest DSL, Verizon 3G, and various other ISP's. We have tried going through wireless and directly connected to broadband modems. It doesn't seem to be vendor, WLAN, WWAN, or router platform specific
I set the one of the VPN clients for logging and tried connecting and received the following log, at the same time the ASA SYSLOG showed the results listed in the ASA-Log.

the log client logs are as follows

IPSec driver successfully stopped

I've seen numerous posts concerning this error message and resolving it by setting NAT-T but if I'm not mistaken that is if you're using IPSec over UDP and we're using IPSec over TCP (port 10000) I still tried setting ADSM to NAT-T and tried several different timeouts (20sec, 30 sec, 60 sec, 120 sec) we want to keep IPSec over TCP because of TCP being more robust.
