The error happend due to a nfs ressource not responding. I suppose that
as xymon launch "df" to get information and as the nfs was hanging, the
xymon-client is no able to detect that the df hangs and it does not send
any data to the server. Worst, the xymon-client is not verbose at all,
it does not tell this test (df) takes too long to accomplish.
Which is exactly the reason why the default xymon client uses "df -Pl" 
to avoid testing nfs mounts.

If it hangs on nfs mounts, then either you changed the script or you 
installed a package where the package maintainer changed it.
