On the 23rd I had 31 WUs time out on one computer. I notice that they all had short times attached but there is still no reason that I can see for this many units to error out, unless they were some sort of ghosts?

All tasks issued on 9 October. I've got a number of ghosts dating from 10 October, it must have been a difficult time for the servers. As Tim says, nothing to worry about.
