Metadata socket read error

Howdy,

I've had tinc working great for over a year now. They just made some network changes at work and now I'm only able to make a connection for a few seconds(30) or so before I get a "Metadata socket read error". I wan't to think that's some kind of firewall timeout thing but I'm not sure. I have no control over the FW or network at work so I'm not clear on what they changed. Here are some logs: 

Log level2:
2013-06-27 11:19:47 tinc[1166]: Connection with goaway (X.X.X.X port 53770) activated

The server at work(goaway) is behind a NAT so it makes the outgoing connection to my static IP at home. My home system just waits for work to make contact to setup the tunnel.

I'm not sure what the Metadata socket read error means. I tried searching it on this list but couldn't find anything that got answered. 

Suggestions?

Thanks,

-Matt
